In this context, critics have claimed that there is a gap in accountability with regard to concessions. The author utilizes interdisciplinary methods and comparative studies, taking into account the situation in the EU and US to analyze the accountability gap some feel will be created when the policy is implemented. Taking water sector concessions as the subject of discussion, the author distinguishes between three types of accountability: traditional bureaucratic accountability, legal accountability and public accountability. By systematically analyzing the essential problems involved, the book attempts to achieve a better understanding of concession and its application in the context of public utilities, and finds that the alleged accountability gap is attributed to traditional bureaucratic accountability in China and the concession system per se.  . 606 $aEnvironmental law, International 606 $aPublic law 606 $aInternational Environmental Law$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R19070 606 $aPublic Law$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R17001 615 0$aEnvironmental law, International. 615 0$aPublic law. 615 14$aInternational Environmental Law. 615 24$aPublic Law. 676 $a354.3660951 700 $aWei$b Yan$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01229788 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483122303321 996 $aRegulating Municipal Water Supply Concessions$92854662 997 $aUNINA
