VIII National Congress of the Network of Social Researchers on Water: ‘From the neoliberal paradigm of water to water and environmental water and environmental justice in Mexico’.
Morelia, Michoacán 10, 11 and 12 September 2025
Mexico’s water problems are becoming increasingly complex due to the country’s incorporation into the world capitalist economy, and the economic, political, social and cultural changes this has entailed. The neo-liberal model was the path that began at the end of the 1980s and the end of the 1980s of the last century and which, in relation to water, meant the transformation of a national good from a national good with a predominantly social use to an economic good subject to individual rights (through concessions). This process led to the privatisation and commercialisation of water, with economic operators benefiting from concessions and the monopolisation of what used to be called the nation’s water.
