Making use of deliberative democratic theory, Fioret suggests tools that can change the balance of democratic decision-making power by rethinking the governance of water more broadly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFive main case studies including Detroit, Cochabamba, and Kerala span four continents to convey the global and local scope of normative water issues. These examples draw on contemporary water justice movements to explore how anti-water-commodification struggles can utilize water recommoning practices to make water governance processes more deeply democratic. Highlighting the ethical and sociopolitical ramifications of water injustice, this study moves beyond the surface issue of distributional concerns. To this end, Fioret draws on research in democratic political theory and environmental philosophy to consider what right people have to water, the putative harms of privatizing and commodifying water, common ownership, and legal protections, alongside local and transnational political activism. In navigating these pressing issues, \u003ci\u003eThe Ethics of Water\u003c\/i\u003e provides a searing analysis of water commodification and political domination today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCameron Fioret \u003c\/b\u003eis Visiting Research Fellow at the United Nations University Institute on Comparative Regional Integration Studies (UNU-CRIS), as well as a Visiting Scholar at the U-M Water Centre in the Graham Sustainability Institute at the University of Michigan, USA.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 216\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.45 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 26, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52725292859699,"sku":"9781350348844","price":78.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/RtnvCDnZb19781350348844.webp?v=1763708268","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/the-ethics-of-water-from-commodification-to-common-ownership-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
