Quote from introduction " This book is an attempt to advance our understanding of presentday
efforts to (re)make public services, through case studies and an
effort to conceptualize what bonds them together. With a focus on
countries in the South, and a broad cross-section of actors and sectors,
the chapters range from Colombia to Uganda, from bureaucrats to
trade unionists, and from waste management to electricity. The people
and institutions surveyed here represent a mere fraction of a much
larger international reality, but they exemplify the varied – if tensionladen
– ways in which essential public services are being (re)construed
and (re)constructed around the world. "
