Series: Progress in Political Economy

Conflicts over water are human-caused events with socio-political and economic causes. From the Movement of People Against Dams in Brazil to environmental activists in Pittsburgh, people are coming together to fight for control of their water.

This book examines how movements are communicating and organizing against water privatisation and other forms of water grabbing, and explores how movements engage with and learn from each other. Water is at the heart of this book, but Schroering's work is as much about collective struggle and popular organisation as it is about water. Based on extensive fieldwork with two movements fighting against water privatisation, the book uses anticolonial and feminist research methods to show how global communications and organising are occurring around water and how Global North movements are engaging with and learning from the Global South and vice versa.
