In the 1990s and mid 2000s, turbulent political and social protests
surrounded the issue of private sector involvement in providing
urban water services in both the developed and developing world.
Water on Tap explores examples of such conflicts in six national
settings (France, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, South Africa and New
Zealand), focusing on a central question: how were rights and
regulation mobilised to address the demands of redistribution and
recognition? Two modes of governance emerged: managed
liberalisation and participatory democracy, often in hybrid forms
that complicated simple oppositions between public and private,
commodity and human right. The case studies examine the effects of
transnational and domestic regulatory frameworks shaping the
provision of urban water services, bilateral investment treaties
and the contributions of non-state actors such as transnational
corporations, civil society organisations and social movement
activists. The conceptual framework developed can be applied to a
wide range of transnational governance contexts.
