Making Public In A Privatized World: The Struggle For Essential Services (Paperback)

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 Private World uncovers the radically different ways in which public services are being reshaped from the grassroots up.
