This book focuses on the French groups Veolia and Suez, two of the most prominent private actors in global water governance, and the development and adaptations strategies of both companies in the cities of Aguascalientes, Mexico City, Atlanta, and Milwaukee over the past thirty years. Drawing on over one hundred interviews conducted with corporate executives, public authorities, and local users of water services, this book moves beyond the simplistic dichotomy of the public-private debate and develops a theoretical framework which analyzes the economic and political power wielded by transnational business actors in global water governance. Not only does the book explain how Veolia and Suez strategically mobilize resources at difference scales in order to expand their global operations, but it also provides a nuanced picture of how state regulation remains of central importance to understanding the dynamics and evolution of the global water sector. Students and scholars interested in business and the environment, including public-private partnerships, business management and transnational corporations, and water governance, will find this book of great interest, as will professionals and policymakers working in these fields"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Public-private sector cooperation $z Mexico. 650 0 $a Public-private sector cooperation $z United States. 650 0 $a Water-supply $z Mexico $x Management. 650 0 $a Water-supply $z United States $x Management. 650 0 $a Municipal services $z Mexico. 650 0 $a Municipal services $z United States. 650 7 $a Municipal services. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01029431 650 7 $a Public-private sector cooperation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01083445 650 7 $a Water-supply $x Management. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01172390 651 7 $a Mexico. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01211700 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 776 08 $i Online version: $a Valdovinos, Joyce, $t Transnational corporations in urban water governance $d New York : Routledge, 2021. $z 9781003007326 $w (DLC) 2021007746 830 0 $a Earthscan studies in water resource management. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231020013433.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B8333984A5B811ECBC4A196C2DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
