This volume brings together an outstanding collection of global experts to examine the regulatory challenges of water management, addressing topics as diverse as regulating trade in water, global institutions and water conservation, cross border investment in water utilities, as well as ethical, social and legal issues associated with equity and access to water. The volume represents an original and immensely valuable collection of papers for anyone concerned with the future of this most essential resource.' - Darryl Jarvis, Hong Kong Institute of Education 'Pollution, population growth, climate change and regional imbalances make water management a central challenge for governments.

This book is highly recommended for anyone interested in international rule-making and regulatory development for public goods in the era of globalization.' - Tsai-yu Lin, National Taiwan University 'Overall, this edited volume has certainly succeeded in analysing a highly technical topic from a wide variety of disciplines and in an array of jurisdictions.
