New Urban Climate: Water, Security, and the State in Bolivia’s New Climate Regime
I am interested in the politics of the environment as a lens on contemporary state formation, in the context of Latin America's Pink Tide. More specifically, my dissertation research examines struggles over the management and distribution of water that unfolded across rural and urban space in Cochabamba, Bolivia from 2005 and 2019 under the nominally socialist presidency of Evo Morales -- a period in which environmental governance projects increasingly came to be promoted under the aegis of adaptation to climate change.
