Abstract

Water conflicts open windows of opportunity for grassroots movements to transform water systems. However, academic fields studying social movements in socio-environmental conflicts are not well equipped to deal with complexity, non-linear dynamics, and emergent properties. Therefore, these fields rarely engage with long-term complex social processes and dynamics leading to systemic socio-technical changes. Researching water conflicts driven by grassroots movements, we ask whether and how the latter can influence a socio-technical transition of a water management regime. Through an emblematic water conflict in Mexico, we analyse the grassroots movement's trajectory since the conflict´s inception by following the dynamic process of developing agency. Our findings show that throughout the conflict, the grassroots movement accumulated and mobilized diverse capitals to initiate water management strategies and practices that catalysed change in the water management regime by stalling the implementation of large infrastructures. Eventually, this led to the inception of a sustainable and just transition.

水冲突中的基层运动能否推动水管理系统的社会技术转型?
水冲突为基层运动改造水系统打开了机会之窗。然而,研究社会环境冲突中的社会运动的学术领域并不具备处理复杂性、非线性动态和突发特性的能力。因此,这些领域很少涉及导致系统社会技术变革的长期复杂社会进程和动态。在研究由基层运动推动的水冲突时,我们询问后者是否以及如何影响水管理制度的社会技术转型。通过墨西哥的一场典型水冲突,我们分析了自冲突开始以来基层运动的发展轨迹,并跟踪了代理发展的动态过程。我们的研究结果表明,在整个冲突过程中,基层运动积累并动员了各种资本来启动水资源管理战略和实践,通过阻止大型基础设施的实施来促进水资源管理制度的变革。最终,这促成了可持续的公正过渡。

期刊介绍: Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions serves as a platform for reporting studies on innovations and socio-economic transitions aimed at fostering an environmentally sustainable economy, thereby addressing structural resource scarcity and environmental challenges, particularly those associated with fossil energy use and climate change. The journal focuses on various forms of innovation, including technological, organizational, economic, institutional, and political, as well as economy-wide and sectoral changes in areas such as energy, transport, agriculture, and water management. It endeavors to tackle complex questions concerning social, economic, behavioral-psychological, and political barriers and opportunities, along with their intricate interactions. With a multidisciplinary approach and methodological openness, the journal welcomes contributions from a wide array of disciplines within the social, environmental, and innovation sciences.
