The Field of Water Policy

Bringing together the analysis of a diverse team of social scientists, this book proposes a new approach to environmental problems. Cutting through the fragmented perspectives on water crises, it seeks to shift the analytic perspectives on water policy by looking at the social logics behind environmental issues. Most importantly, it analyzes the dynamic influences on water management, as well as the social and institutional forces that orient water and conservation policies. The first work of its kind, The Field of Water Policy: Power and Scarcity in the American Southwest brings the tools of Pierre Bourdieus field sociology to bear on a moment of environmental crisis, with a study of the logics of water policy in the American Southwest, a region that allows us to see the contest over the management of scarce resources in a context of lasting drought. As such, it will appeal to scholars in the social and political sciences with interests in the environment and the management of natural resources.

Contents

This collective survey of the protagonists of Southwestern American water policy has been realized thanks to the support of the joint international unit iGLOBES (National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS)/University of Arizona). Colette Doressoundiram has been a fantastic administrator throughout the project, allowing the units members the full time they needed to dedicate themselves to research activities.

Many other collaborators have helped us during the many years leading to the completion of the project. First among them are Ed Curley, with his vast knowledge of environmental issues in the American West, and Evan Canfield, who took us to where it all started where the Santa Cruz River flowed again

Many other people have encouraged the unit iGLOBES activities or participated in them: Rebecca Bernat, Anne-Lise Boyer, Leandro Del Moral, Pierre Deymier, Regis Ferrire, Claude Le Gouill, Franois-Michel Le Tourneau, Pierre Lucas, Pierre Meystre, Lala Razafimahefa, Eduardo Rios, Marie-Blanche Roudault, Joaquin Ruiz, Claire Zucker, Rositsa Yaneva. At the INSHS (CNRS), Patrice Bourdelais and Pascal Marty have also strongly supported the unit. At the Udall Center, Chris Scott and Robert Varady have always collaborated positively.

This research has been supported by the ANR BLUEGRASS, the OHMI Pima County, which is part of the Labex DRIIHM (ANR-11-LABX-0010), by the UMI iGLOBES (UMR 3157 CNRS/University of Arizona), and by the CREDA (UMR 7227 CNRS/Paris III).

Any possible errors, or misunderstandings in this book, remain the sole responsibility of the authors, however.

You have to hear the water flow in the bed of the Santa Cruz River near Tucson, Arizona, to realize that something is happening in the field of water policy in the American West. After being exploited for decades for sanitation and drinking water, agriculture, surface and subterranean mining, and urban development, the water course that the historian and legal scholar, Robert Glennon, described, oxymoronically, as the dry river (2002: 36), is now benefiting from the work carried out by Pima County, near the Mexican border, to restore ecosystems and conserve water resources. In a state as politically conservative and as focused on development, both economic and in terms of real estate, as Arizona, the emergence of green approaches to water policy may be surprising. In a sense, then, this book is an attempt to explain such a paradox: how can a process of ecologization (Poupeau et al. 2018) be generated in adverse conditions corresponding to a king of a worst-case scenario.
