- W135252864 abstract "This thesis examines how constitutional reforms relating to the right towater in Bolivia have affected water provision in peri-urban Cochabamba.This multi-sited ethnography explores how the right to water has framedreforms to the Bolivian water sector, how and why the right to water hasbeen contested in Bolivia, the impact of reforms to the water sector onperi-urban water committees and emerging challenges and opportunitiesfor sustainable water provision in peri-urban Bolivia.It demonstrates that despite the high profile role played by Bolivia inadvancing the right to water at the international and national level, inpractice the right to water continues to be a fairly nebulous concept.There is a disconnect between Bolivia’s international stance on thehuman right to water and national reforms around the right to water. Thisthesis contends that the right to water is a banner under which the watersector has been reformed since the election of Evo Morales in 2006.Even though the constitution states that everyone has the right to water,in practice water often continues to be provided through communityproviders such as drinking water committees (DWCs), largely due to thefailure of municipal water provision. Reforms and policy have focussed on(re)nationalising the sector and establishing new institutions to regulateand develop diverse water providers such as peri-urban DWCs.Through detailed ethnographic examination of peri-urban Cochabamba,the thesis demonstrates that activists and community-water providers inrural and peri-urban areas have contested reforms linked to the right towater. They have contended that reforms have the potential to underminecommunity water systems, and furthermore, that the state has failed toguarantee basic human rights and service provision. To date, the stateand non-state initiatives to enhance the sustainability of DWCs havefocussed on certain elements of sustainability, specifically protecting theaquifer and enhancing institutional sustainability of DWCs. By drawing onthe experience and development of one DWC, this thesis also exploresfurther elements that present challenges and opportunities to enhancesustainable water provision in peri-urban areas, namely building equitableaccess, and the reconciling of local power relations." @default.
