How do we provide effective public services in a deeply neoliberal
world? In the wake of the widespread failure of privatisation
efforts, societies in the global south are increasingly seeking
progressive ways of recreating the public sector. With contributors
ranging from cutting-edge scholars to activists working in health,
water, and energy provision, and with case studies covering a broad
spectrum of localities and actors, Making Public in a Privatized
World uncovers the radically different ways in which public
services are being reshaped from the grassroots up. From
communities holding the state accountable for public health in
rural Guatemala, to waste pickers in India and decentralized solar
electricity initiatives in Africa, the essays in this collection
offer probing insights into the complex ways in which people are
building genuine alternatives to privatization, while also
illustrating the challenges which communities face in creating
public services which are not subordinated to the logic of the
market, or to the monolithic state entities of the past.
