Abstract
This chapter elaborates the theoretical lens and key concepts through which this book probes into formalization. The analytical framework builds on two interdisciplinary schools of thought, legal anthropology and political ecology. By help of these schools, water rights (property rights) formalization, water security, water conflicts, and equity are conceptualized and interpreted. The first part deals with legal anthropology and the legal pluralistic perspective of water rights, formalization and water securities. The second part discusses political ecology and the conceptualization of water conflicts, power and equity.
