Between Market and Human Right: Water Resources Regulation from the perspective of Self-Management and Chilean Administrative Process
Keywords:
water rights market, human right to water, Ostrom, Croley, water resources lawAbstract
Purpose ”“ This paper aims to review the regulation of the water market in Chile, which is based on a market for buying and selling water rights, together with the criticisms that have recently been made on that matter.
Methodology/approach/design ”“ The pro market positions seeking moderate transformations will be studied on par with the more reformist ones flourishing in social activism. This paper compares these two strands. In order to find similarities among them, this paper tackles Ostrom's ideas about self-management of common goods and Croley's administrative process theory.
Findings ”“ From these theoretical approaches, it is drawn the conclusion that they converge in the institutional improvement of the Directorate General of Water and the regulation of legal bodies, alongside ideal representations of waters rights market and the human right to water.
