The widening parameters of the debate are prompted by social movements for water-justice on the one hand and the intractable nature of problems entailed in water justice on the other. The articles in this issue search for ways of understanding the complexities entailed in the normatively simple question of access to or water. Contributors to the issue look for answers at various levels, empirical and theoretical, at meta, macro, meso and micro levels, and present the readers with a range of perspectives and insights on problems of access to water. LGD (Law, Social Justice and Global Development) is an innovative new electronic law journal covering a range of topics relating to legal issues surrounding the impact of globalisation on social development. It contains a diversity of materials including peer reviewed and non-refereed articles, commentaries, work in progress articles, book reviews, and conference reports and papers, as well as information papers, news and details of global conferences.
