Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Product DescriptionAfter three decades of privatization and antistate rhetoric, government ownership and public management are back in vogue. This book explores this rapidly growing trend towards 'corporatization' public enterprises owned and operated by the state, with varying degrees of autonomy. If sometimes driven by neoliberal agendas, there exist examples of corporatization that could herald a brighter future for equityoriented public services.Drawing on original case studies from Asia, Africa and Latin America, this book critically examines the histories, structures, ideologies and social impacts of corporatization in the water and electricity sectors, interrogating the extent to which it can move beyond commercial goals to deliver progressive public services. The first collection of its kind, Rethinking Corporatization and Public Services in the Global South offers rich empirical insight and theoretical depth into what has become one of the most important public policy shifts for essential services in the global South.ReviewThis book offers fresh thinking on corporatization and public enterprises and addresses important research questions in a multidisciplinary way. The analysis is grounded in new evidence and field research, making it essential reading for anyone interested in the benefits and risks of contemporary trends of governance reforms in the provision of essential public services. Massimo Florio, University of MilanIs corporatization friend or foe of quality public service provision? This book offers a thorough critique, providing a theoretical framework and a set of criteria for evaluating this new reform in public service delivery. Case studies from around the world show the potential benefits and pitfalls of corporatization and raise questions about the role of the state and the meaning of "public" in service delivery. This is a mustread for policymakers, practitioners and scholars of public service reform. Mildred E. Warner, Cornell UniversityAbout the AuthorDavid A.
