Descrizione del libro

Focused on the turbulent upheavals of the 1990s and mid-2000s, this socio-legal exploration of the politics of urban water services assesses two modes of governance - managed liberalization and participatory democracy - that reflect tensions between water viewed as a scarce commodity and as an essential public good.
