The Human Right to Water in Latin America
Brill (Verlag)
978-90-04-36780-7 (ISBN)
In The Human Right to Water in Latin America, Anna Berti Suman investigates the development of the right to water and of water law in the Latin American context. By examining the significance of Latin American constitutional evolution, doctrine, and jurisprudence, the author illustrates the Latin American contribution in stimulating the social, political, and economic debate on the right to water, regionally and worldwide.
Through an overview on the right to water in Latin American constitutions and of the main Latin American water management systems, Berti Suman argues that an analysis of the right to water has to take account of its application in specific contexts. The intrinsic connection between the right to water and the role of the private sector is examined through topical insights into the highly privatized Chilean water services. In the conclusion, the relevance of the lessons learnt from the Latin American experience for the global debate on the right to water is convincingly proved.
Anna Berti Suman, Ph.D. Candidate at the Tilburg Institute for Law, Technology and Society, previously researcher in Chile and Ecuador, holds a Law Degree from the University of Bologna and Transnational Law from the University of Geneva. She has published articles, book chapters and reports, including Challenging Risk Governance Patterns Through Citizen Sensing: The Schiphol Airport Case (Routledge, 2018).
