In the context of globalizing transboundary environmental challenges, strategies to protect and secure the local commons such as water resources have been increasingly scaled up. Consequently, local communities have started to engage in transnational mobilisations to defend their rights and express their concerns. This often implies the adoption and institutionalisation of emerging global norms, principles and modes of framing and claiming – such as the Human Right to Water or the Rights of Nature – which will interfere with and may even go against local understandings, meaning, and rooted struggles or initial claims made by grassroots movements. On the one hand, the appropriation of expert knowledge and technical idiom may improve their recognition and access to political and financial support. On the other hand, transnational involvement may (re)produce misrecognition or exclusion on the ground for community-based organisations. Studying cases from Latin American countries, and combining commons and social movements theories, this paper examines in what ways professionalisation and commensuration strategies as deployed and implemented by transnational grassroots movements impact the local commons.

扩大规模但失败？拉丁美洲跨国运动与草根斗争之间的水资源公地困境

在跨界环境挑战全球​​化的背景下，保护和保障当地公共资源（如水资源）的战略日益扩大。因此，当地社区开始参与跨国动员，以捍卫自己的权利并表达他们的关切。这通常意味着采用和制度化新兴的全球规范、原则和框架和主张模式——例如水的人权或自然权——这将干扰甚至可能违背当地的理解、意义和根深蒂固的斗争或草根运动的最初主张。一方面，对专家知识和技术习语的挪用可以提高他们的认可度和获得政治和财政支持的机会。另一方面，跨国参与可能（重新）造成社区组织的误认或排斥。本文通过研究拉丁美洲国家的案例，结合公地和社会运动理论，研究跨国草根运动部署和实施的专业化和相称战略如何影响当地公地。
