Why should industrial relations scholars be concerned about water? At a first glance, the topic seems distant from the discipline’s core. And yet, some of the most important social struggles in Europe over the last decade were born from the resistance to processes of water privatization, and trade unions were among the protagonists within many of them. In ‘Fighting for water: resisting privatization in Europe’, Andreas Bieler analyses resistance to water privatization in the EU. Through the analysis of anti-privatization struggles in Italy, Ireland, Greece, as well as at the EU level, Bieler offers a comprehensive picture of the successes achieved and the obstacles and the limitations encountered by popular movements that opposed processes of commodification of water.
