Water on Tap explores examples of such conflicts in six national settings (France, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, South Africa and New Zealand), focusing on a central question: how were rights and regulation mobilized to address the demands of redistribution and recognition? Two modes of governance emerged: managed liberalization and participatory democracy, often in hybrid forms that complicated simple oppositions between public and private, commodity and human right. The case studies examine the effects of transnational and domestic regulatory frameworks shaping the provision of urban water services, bilateral investment treaties and the contributions of non-state actors such as transnational corporations, civil society organisations and social movement activists. The conceptual framework developed can be applied to a wide range of transnational governance contexts. 410 0$aCambridge studies in law and society. 606 $aWater utilities$xLaw and legislation 606 $aInternational business enterprises$xLaw and legislation 606 $aPrivatization$xLaw and legislation 606 $aRight to water 615 0$aWater utilities$xLaw and legislation. 615 0$aInternational business enterprises$xLaw and legislation. 615 0$aPrivatization$xLaw and legislation. 615 0$aRight to water. 676 $a343.09/24 686 $aLAW018000$2bisacsh 700 $aMorgan$b Bronwen$f1966-$01486476 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790089003321 996 $aWater on tap$93705956 997 $aUNINA
