Corporatization in the European water sector: lessons for the global South by Emanuele Lobina and David Hall

http://www.municipalservicesproject.org/publication/rethinking-corporatization-and-public-services-global-south  This is a chapter in the Municipal Services Project book Rethinking Corporatization and Public Services in the Global South (more details from here.). The chapter finds evidence of corporatization leading to more or less progressive outcomes. It concludes that moderate or weak forms of corporatization can lead to progressive outcomes when strong democratic control is exerted by local governments, and advanced forms of public participation and transparency are introduced.
