"Social Power and the Urbanization of Water takes the circulation of water as a lense through which to analyse how the natural and social fuse together in the process of urbanization. In addition, excavating the circulation of water provides a vehicle to examine the relations between social, political, and economic power which give structure to the urbanization process. These power relations become embodied in and expressed by the particular forms through which water becomes urban. This analysis, in turn, allows light to be cast on who controls the transformation and appropriation of nature and the city's environment. The city of Guayaquil in Ecuador, where 600,000 people lack easy access to potable water, provides the empirical background for this analysis. Historical political-ecological research is combined with an analysis of key contemporary power brokers who organize a highly uneven and deeply unjust urban water circulation system."--Jacket.

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.
