This book advances academic and policy debates about public water services by tightening conceptual understanding of remunicipalisation and situating the discussion within a larger body of literature on ‘alternatives to privatisation.’ A geographically dispersed set of examples is presented: sites in Europe (Paris), Africa (Dar es Salaam), Latin America (Buenos Aires), North America (Hamilton), and Asia (Malaysia), with very different political, economic and geophysical contexts. In four of the five cases, the (near) collapse of privatisation precipitated the move to remunicipalise.application/pdfenWATER SUPPLYMUNICIPAL SERVICESPUBLIC SERVICESPRIVATIZATIONCASE STUDIESACCESS TO WATERRIGHT TO WATERMUNICIPAL GOVERNMENTPARISDAR ES SALAAMBUENOS AIRESCANADAGLOBAL SOUTHSERVICE DELIVERYBook
