Key issues in water privatization and remunicipalization

摘要

This special issue analyzes privatization in water with an emphasis on recent U.S. experience but set in the in-ternational context. 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.
