Taking as his case-study the city of Guayaquil in Ecuador, where 600,000 people lack easy access to potable water, the author aims to reconstruct, theoretically and empirically, the political, social and economic conduits through which water flows, and identify the inherent political relations.

Abstract

Erik Swyngedouw explores how water becomes part of the tumultuous processes of modernisation and development. Using the experience of Spain as a lens to view the interplay of modernity and environmental transformation, he shows that every political project is also an environmental project. Offering an innovative perspective on the relationship of nature and society, 'Liquid Power' illuminates the political nature of nature.

Abstract

This volume redefines the genre of sector studies. The first part of the book compares the experiences of Britain and France in the very voltaile world of high-tech industries during the 1980s. The macroeconomic regulation approach is carried over a microeconomic level in the empirical chapters through an analysis of studies of firms, each chapter written by authors well-placed to give a pan-European perspective.
