Through the lens of urban water provision, this book shows how politicians fail to provide reliable and high quality public services because they often benefit politically from manipulating public service provision for electoral gain. In many young democracies, politicians exchange water service for votes or political support, attempting to reward allies or punish political enemies. Surprisingly, the political problem of water provision has become more pronounced in many young democracies, as water service represents a valuable political currency in resource-scarce environments. When do politicians forgo the clientelistic manipulation of water services and invest in programmatic and universal service provision? Water and Politics finds that middle-class and industrial elites play an important role in generating pressure for public service reforms. Based on extensive field research and combining process tracing with a subnational comparative analysis of eight Mexican cities, Water and Politics constructs a framework for understanding the construction of universal service provision in these weak institutional settings"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 227-244) and index. 505 0 $a Public services after democratization and decentralization -- Accounting for reform in the Mexican urban water sector -- Water and particularistic politics in urban Mexico : a historical overview -- Reform adoption in LeoÌn and Irapuato : policy insulation through broad elite incorporation -- Reform adoption in Naucalpan and Celaya : policy insulation through narrow elite incorporation -- Reform failure in Toluca and Xalapa : ad hoc solutions and gradual services decay -- Reform failure in Neza and Veracruz : repurposed clientelism and acute services decay -- Politics, time horizons, and the global water crisis. 650 0 $a Water-supply $x Political aspects $z Mexico. 650 0 $a Public utilities $z Mexico. 650 0 $a Patron and client $z Mexico. 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE $x Public Affairs & Administration. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE $x Human Rights. $x Human Rights. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE $x General. $x General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Patron and client. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01055220 650 7 $a Public utilities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01083130 650 7 $a Water-supply $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01172410 651 7 $a Mexico. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01211700 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211021429.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B4D0717EF11E11E79D0FC10F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
