Books

This page brings together my authored and edited books. My work spans water politics, environmental crisis, political geography, and the infrastructures through which power is exercised.

Thirst: the Global Quest to Solve the Water Crisis (Verso Books, 2025)

A critical examination of contemporary responses to water crisis, and of the political, technological, and ideological assumptions that shape them. 

Political Geography in Practice: Theories, Approaches, Methodologies (Palgrave Macmillan, 2024)

A co-edited volume exploring theories, approaches, and methodologies in political geography, and reflecting on how the field is researched and practiced.

Sete: Crisi idrica e capitalismo (Ponte alle Grazie, 2024)

Sete è un’impietosa critica alle strategie messe in atto per arginare la crisi idrica, un campanello d’allarme sugli effetti devastanti della fede cieca nel mercato. Ma allo stesso tempo è una profonda riflessione sul nostro rapporto con la natura e un potente richiamo all’azione: « Non è mai troppo tardi per prendere posizione e invertire la rotta del discorso».

An analysis of the relationship between water, state power, and regional politics in Central Asia, with particular attention to the ways hydraulic resources are entangled with sovereignty, legitimacy, and geopolitical tension.
