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.
