Water Security, Justice and the Politics of Water Rights in Peru and Bolivia

by Miriam Seemann

Book Overview

The author scrutinizes the claim that legal recognition of local water rights would reduce water conflict and increase water security and equality for peasant and indigenous water users. Peru's and Bolivia's case studies demonstrate how formalization policies, while aiming to enhance inclusion, actually reinforce exclusion of the marginalized.
