http://www.municipalservicesproject.org/sites/municipalservicesproject.org/files/publications/OccasionalPaper17_Dugard-Drage_Shields_and_Swords_Legal_Tools_Public_Water_June2012.pdf extract describes it as “ Water activists have an encouraging record of using legal tools to overturn privatization in the fight for public services. Shields and Swords examines and draws lessons from water campaigns’ legal strategies around the world, some of which have transformed national laws and banned private provision, while others were partial victories. In all cases, the staying power of water rights networks has been most critical to campaign success.” Advice www.municipalservicesproject.org
