- W2989691609 abstract "This Special Collection of reviews—Bottled Water: Explanations of a Global Trend—curates various social science analyses on what is a growing global social and environmental issue. Reviewing what is known about bottled water consumption (who, where, how much, what kind) and markets in different regions of the world, the contributions provide different (inter)disciplinary perspectives on these trends—what explains them—and their impacts on both individuals and society. Collectively, the contributions (a) compile the bottled water research from different disciplines; (b) identify emergent gaps in knowledge on bottled water; and (c) call for knowledge on bottled water to be situated, with questions and explanatory frameworks generated in the particular historical and geographical contexts they are used to explain. First, documenting the consumption of bottled water in Mexico (Green, 2016), Indonesia (Prasetiawan, Nastiti, & Muntalif, 2017), and West Africa (Morinville, 2017; Stoler, 2017) (alongside the United States and France), the Special Collection illustrates the shift in the global market to lower and middle income countries. China now generates more revenue for the industry than the United States, Mexico has the highest per capita consumption, Southeast Asia has the most potential market growth, and six of the 10 countries with the highest volume of bottled water consumption are in what the bottled water industry market report terms “developing economies” (Rodwan Jr., 2016). The rise of bottled water as a source of safe drinking water supply in these countries (Mexico, Ghana, and Indonesia included), calls attention to the fact that the majority of studies of bottled water are focused on its use in the west as a commercial product, a luxury, and a source of waste but not as a source of supply (e.g., Brei, 2018; Clarke, 2007; Hawkins, Potter, & Race, 2015; Opel, 1999; Race, 2012). Sharma and Bhaduri (2014) noted how bottled water occupied little place in the study of water supply in southern cities, while Hawkins' (2017) shows how analyses of the impact of bottled water on changing models for urban water supply are primarily limited to contexts where the model of the urban infrastructural ideal—universal access to drinking water through centralized piped distribution—was, at least in one point in time, actually achieved. This overlooks the cities in which the majority of the world's residents live, for whom piped water supply has never been potable or universally provided, and where bottled water consumption is growing at a rapid rate. Second, the contributions provide a breadth of disciplinary perspectives on the phenomena of bottled water. The explanatory frameworks used to answer questions of why bottled water consumption is increasing—how and why markets are shifting—range from a focus on the choices of the individual (public health, consumer studies, psychology; Brei, 2018; Prasetiawan et al. 2017; Stoler, 2017), to analyzing the larger societal structures and processes in which decisions of individuals are made (cultural studies, human geography, public administration; Brei, 2018; Hawkins, 2017; Morinville, 2017; Stoler 2017). The contributions of the Special Collection, in fact both illustrate and analyze which disciplines dominate research on bottled water (business studies and psychology), and discuss what this means for what questions are asked, where researchers look for explanations, and how analyses remain power neutral or a-political (Kooy & Walter, 2019). Contributions in the Special Collection remind us why this matters, and call for more attention to the politics of bottled water markets, production and consumption, as the societal impacts of bottled water's continued rise are unevenly distributed across society." @default.
