- Abstract
The article discusses the role of collective water management in allowing for autonomy and resource control by indigenous people in highland Ecuador. It is said that protesters have prevented the state Secretaria Nacional del Agua (National Secretariat for Water, SENAGUA) from controlling the local water resources managed by Juntas Administradoras de Agua Potable (Drinking Water User Associations, WUAs). Other topics include social organization among campesinos in Otavalo, Ecuador, the relation of elites to rural communities in Andean Ecuador, and the history of rural development in Ecuador.
