Transnational Corporations in Urban Water Governance: Public-Private Partnerships in Mexico and the US (Earthscan Studies in Water Resource Management)

Joyce Valdovinos

4.9/5 (26978 ratings)

Description:This book examines the role played by business in urban water governance by analyzing the evolution of the global private water sector along with four public-private partnerships in Mexico and the U.S.The local nature of water services often hides the global developments behind the rise of transnational water corporations, which have gone from local operators to dynamic and powerful actors within an interconnected transnational space for water. This book focuses on the French groups Veolia and Suez, two of the most prominent private actors in global water governance, and the development and adaptations strategies of both companies in the cities of Aguascalientes, Mexico City, Atlanta, and Milwaukee over the past thirty years. Drawing on over one hundred interviews conducted with corporate executives, public authorities, and local users of water services, this book moves beyond the simplistic dichotomy of the public-private debate and develops a theoretical framework which analyzes the economic and political power wielded by transnational business actors in global water governance. Not only does the book explain how Veolia and Suez strategically mobilize resources at difference scales in order to expand their global operations, but it also provides a nuanced picture of how state regulation remains of central importance to understanding the dynamics and evolution of the global water sector.Students and scholars interested in business and the environment, including public-private partnerships, business management and transnational corporations, and water governance, will find this book of great interest, as will professionals and policymakers working in these fields.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
