Recognizing how critics of privatization are often told they present no alternatives, this book takes up that challenge, proposing conceptual models for what exactly constitutes a dependable alternative to privatization and commercialization. The analysis delves into what makes these potential alternatives successes or failures, citing empirical data on creative public service initiatives in more than 40 countries in the global south. Providing a robust platform for comparisons across regions and sectors with a focus on health, water, and electricity, this groundbreaking study presents a compelling survey penned by leading academics, practitioners, and activists in the field. Sectoral and regional overviews of Asia, Africa, and Latin America and the Caribbean are included.
