N2  - In the struggle against the capitalism which converts nature into the natural resources and in the construction of the struggle, drawing a road map in order to get out of possible deadlocks is important before all to transform the grey theory into the green tree of life. With this in mind, in this study, the struggles of Bolivian Cochabamba people whose names are known for the Water Wars in the beginning of 1990s for water will be examined within the perspective of the eco-socialist struggle which was carried out against the exploitation of nature and labor. For this purpose, firstly, Bolivian political and economic situation on the background of these struggles will be mentioned, and, then, the actors and the forces that emerged from the bottom of the Cochabamban popular struggle against water and energy privatization process will be handled. Then, the path of the struggle in which the right to water has been brought to the agenda of the UN as an international norm will be traced within the context of The World People’s Conference on Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth and The Climate Justice movement for the ecological crisis. Lastly, within the light of the fundamental arguments of the eco-socialism, some (self-)critical remarks upon the internal crises of the popular Cochabamban movement in getting rid of the capitalism in particular, and upon the reflections of the ecological struggle in terms of social opposition in general will be brought.
