I´m looking for case studies, papers, articles, theses, and books on the subject in both countries in order to develop a comparative study with the Mexican case.
Dear Daniel,
I read and used a few French articles and PhD dissertations for my research and my teaching. I would advice:
- A 2012 PhD dissertation by P.L. Mayaux on conflicts for the access to drinking water in Bolivia
http://www.theses.fr/2012IEPP0071
- A 2001 paper by S. Jaglin (general context)
http://www.jstor.org/stable/23592697
- A 2002 paper by B. de Gouvello and J.M. Fournier on popular resistance to privatization in Cochabamba
http://www.cairn.info/revue-autrepart-2002-1-page-69.htm
- And finally a 2009 article by Franck Poupeau on socio-spatial inequalities for the access to tap water in La Paz
http://transcontinentales.revues.org/368
I hope these papers are useful for your research
Best regards
denis

Yes I do agree....
Many papers were written about the conflict in La Paz.
Regarding to Uruguay I don´t know much but there are some interesting work done in the watershed of Quaraí River (you may found Cai River as well), most related to governance and public particpation in the management and decision making process.
Private firms were likely to abuse their monopoly power in this type of markets, and concentrate their service supply on rich households, leaving poor households without access to a basic service. In September 2010, the United Nation’s Human Rights’ Council adopted Resolution 64/292 which declares access to water and sanitation a human right

Hi, Daniel:
There are good hints about the question of water in Bolivia in the documentary "Encontros com Milton Santos...", by Silvio Tendler, at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJd5YKhR9gE,
and about water Justice, in the works of Maude Barlow and the Council of Canadians.
See also www.rgsg.org. br., and the documentary AGUA_VIDA, at

Thanks for your answers.
I reviewed the recommendations and would seem appropriate.
Best regards,
Daniel.
Dear Daniel
I recomend you the book
La reconstrucción de lo publico: movimiento social, ciudadania y gestión de agua en Cochabamba. From: Sabine Hoffmann, Bernardo Rozo, Luis Tapia y Jorge Viaña.
Also you look after at CEPAL, they have an special group who look's after water crises and rights
Formal recognition of the human right to water by the United Nations is a vital first step to ensure that all people have access to this most basic human need. Yet the United States government has historically opposed this movement. It is time for the administration of Barack Obama to take a stand for human rights and throw its support behind a U.N. resolution that codifies the human right to water.
Please see the relevant studies as under:
1.The Constitutional Right to Water in Uruguay, by Rachael Moshman (See link)
2. Thomas Coleman, "Who Owns the Water? An Analysis of Water Conflicts in Latin American and Modern Water Law," intersections 12, no. 2 (2012): 1-19. (See link)
3. Water and sanitation: Evidence for public policies focused on human rights and public health results, PAN AMERICAN (See link)
