Description

In this webinar, authors and editor, Prof. Mildred Warner, of the special issue Water Privatization: Lessons and Pitfalls, recently published in Utilities Policy, present and discuss their contributions.
This special issue analyzes privatization in water. Historically, the key questions around water privatization were related to efficiency, costs, and prices, but the debate also needs to address broader questions of regulation and governance. This special issue includes the most recent studies of ownership and performance with papers from the United States, Europe, and Latin America.
