Avec la mise en œuvre d'une politique d'inspiration libérale au début des années 90, sous la présidence de Carlos Menem, l'Argentine a été présentée comme le bon élève des institutions financières internationales. C'est à cette époque que les services publics urbains ont été privatisés. L'euphorie des années 90 a suscité l'intérêt des grands groupes internationaux. L'agglomération de Buenos Aires à elle seule représentait d'importantes opportunités de marché. D'abord en raison de la dimension des concessions (Aguas Argentinas opère sur la plus grande concession d'eau et d'assainissement du monde), ensuite en raison de l'importance de la classe moyenne argentine, réputée solvable, enfin en raison du contexte monétaire marqué par la parité entre le peso argentin et le dollar américain. De nombreuses sociétés françaises dont EDF, France Télécom et Suez, objets de la présente étude, se sont installées sur place. Dans La multinationale et le bidonville, Sarah Botton étudie en profondeur les services d'eau, d'électricité et de téléphone, essentiels dans le cadre du développement de l'intégration urbaine. Elle décrit en particulier la politique de " responsabilité sociale " que les filiales des trois groupes ont mise en œuvre dans les quartiers défavorisés et les bidonvilles de la capitale argentine. Après la crise financière de 2001, marquée par la dévaluation du peso, l'effondrement des finances publiques et l'appauvrissement de la classe moyenne, le pays est entré dans une nouvelle période. Les projets dans les quartiers pauvres se sont poursuivis mais, au même moment, la tension est montée entre l'Etat argentin et les grandes entreprises, menant quelques années plus tard au départ des opérateurs français... Au-delà d'une riche leçon de choses sur les processus de privatisation et l'organisation des services essentiels pour la population, l'enquête de Sarah Botton nous en apprend beaucoup sur l'Argentine contemporaine.

The renaissance in urban theory draws directly from a fresh focus on the neglected realities of cities beyond the west and embraces the global south as the epicentre of urbanism. This Handbook engages the complex ways in which cities of the global south and the global north are rapidly shifting, the imperative for multiple genealogies of knowledge production, as well as a diversity of empirical entry points to understand contemporary urban dynamics. The Handbook works towards a geographical realignment in urban studies, bringing into conversation a wide array of cities across the global south – the ‘ordinary’, ‘mega’, ‘global’ and ‘peripheral’. With interdisciplinary contributions from a range of leading international experts, it profiles an emergent and geographically diverse body of work. The contributions draw on conflicting and divergent debates to open up discussion on the meaning of the city in, or of, the global south; arguments that are fluid and increasingly contested geographically and conceptually. It reflects on critical urbanism, the macro- and micro-scale forces that shape cities, including ideological, demographic and technological shifts, and constantly changing global and regional economic dynamics. Working with southern reference points, the chapters present themes in urban politics, identity and environment in ways that (re)frame our thinking about cities. The Handbook engages the twenty-first-century city through a ‘southern urban’ lens to stimulate scholarly, professional and activist engagements with the city.

In recent years the water sector has undergone profound institutional, economic and political transformations. Some countries have encouraged privatization of water services, but in many cases this has provoked adverse reaction to such a neoliberal and market-based approach to this common shared but essential resource. This book goes beyond the ideology of the public versus private water regime debate, by focusing on the results of these types of initiatives to provide better water services, particularly in urban settings. It provides numerous examples of alternative models, to show who is responsible for implementing such systems and what are their social, institutional and technical-scientific characteristics. Policies are analysed in terms of their implications for employees and residents. The book presents a new combinatory approach of water regimes, based on several international case studies (Argentina, Bolivia, China, France, Germany, India, South Africa and the USA, plus a comparison of three cities in Africa) presenting specific challenges for water models. These case studies demonstrate the successes and problems of a range of private sector involvements in the provision of water services, and provide examples of how small-scale systems can compare with larger-scale more technical systems.

Cities around the world are undergoing profound changes. In this global era, we live in a world of rising knowledge economies, digital technologies, and awareness of environmental issues. The so-called "modern infrastructural ideal" of spatially and socially ubiquitous centrally-governed infrastructures providing exclusive, homogeneous services over extensive areas, has been the standard of reference for the provision of basic essential services, such as water and energy supply. This book argues that, after decades of undisputed domination, this ideal is being increasingly questioned and that the network ideology that supports it may be waning. In order to begin exploring the highly diverse, fluid and unstable landscapes emerging beyond the networked city, this book identifies dynamics through which a ‘break’ with previous configurations has been operated, and new brittle zones of socio-technical controversy through which urban infrastructure (and its wider meaning) are being negotiated and fought over. It uncovers, across a diverse set of urban contexts, new ways in which processes of urbanization and infrastructure production are being combined with crucial sociopolitical implications: through shifting political economies of infrastructure which rework resource distribution and value creation; through new infrastructural spaces and territorialities which rebundle socio-technical systems for particular interests and claims; and through changing offsets between individual and collective appropriation, experience and mobilization of infrastructure. With contributions from leading authorities in the field and drawing on theoretical advances and original empirical material, this book is a major contribution to an ongoing infrastructural turn in urban studies, and will be of interest to all those concerned by the diverse forms and contested outcomes of contemporary urban change across North and South.

Globalized Water presents a compilation of voices that forms a unique scientific exploration of contemporary water management models and governance issues. The book describes the water paradox—how a local resource has become a global product—and the implications of this in how we identify challenges and make policy in the water sector. Over the last 20 years, the foundations of local and national water systems have been rocked by a wave of changes. The authors in this book, experts in a wide range of disciplines, address the resulting debates and issues: water as a commodity and patrimony, technological rent, liberalization and privatization, the continuing evolution of water management and policy at the European level, decision making and stakeholder participation, conflict and consensus, and the inevitable growth of counterpowers at the local and international levels, promoted by the advocates of sustainable development. The selected case studies are from Europe (primarily France but also Spain, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Portugal), Latin America (Argentina, Bolivia), the United States, Lebanon, and India. From this diverse collection of comparative perspectives and research methods, Globalized Water seeks to advance interdisciplinary research, contributing to a new and dynamic role for social sciences and governance on water.

Megacities are a new phenomenon in history. The fact that many of them are in emerging countries deepens the challenges of governing these spaces. Can these vast, complex entities, rife with inequalities and divisions, be governed effectively? For researchers, the answer has often been no. The approach developed in this work focuses on the material city and its institutions and shows that, without recourse to a big new theory, urban leaders have devised mechanisms of ordinary government. They have done so through the resolution of practical and essential problems: providing electricity, drinking water, sanitation, transportation. Three findings emerge from this book. Infrastructure networks help to structure cities and function as mechanisms of cohesion. Megacities become more governable if there is a legitimate authority capable of making choices. Finally, anarchic urbanisation has its roots in systems of land ownership, in inadequate urban planning and in the practices of developers and local actors. In the originality of its hypotheses and the precision of the analyses carried out in the four case study cities of Shanghai, Mumbai, Cape Town and Santiago de Chile, this work is addressed to all those interested in the life of cities: politicians, local and central government officials, executives in urban companies, researchers and students.

Coproducing Water Energy And Waste Services written by Luisa Moretto and has been published by Routledge this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2018-12-07 with Nature categories.
Conventional services, such as water, energy and waste services, have been for a long time physically networked and centrally managed. Today, this delivery model appears increasingly inefficient in two respects. It often fails in guaranteeing its financial viability and equitable service access, and and it generally draws heavily on the natural resources conveyed by these services. The book aims thus at exploring how service coproduction, based on public-community collaborations, can represent a valuable alternative to the conventional service provision model. Contributions in this book look into service coproduction and its relationship with the conventional service model both in the Global North (Germany) and Global South (Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, India, Tanzania). They also address a variety of different perspectives in coproducing conventional services, such as the role of service modernisation, the variety of non-networked solutions, the relationship with the commons, just to cite some of them. Eventually, this book provides a first comprehensive exploration of the service coproduction theory in relation to conventional services, such as water, energy and waste. The chapters originally published as a special issue in Urban Research & Practice.

Face à un champ de l'eau traditionnellement fragmenté en de multiples thématiques rivales - réseau, ressource, service public, marchandise, bien collectif, droit à l'eau -, le présent ouvrage, façonné au sein d'un véritable atelier pluridisciplinaire, le «rés-eau-ville» du CNRS, rassemblant des spécialistes venus des divers horizons des sciences humaines et sociales, entend contribuer à une indispensable «réunification». Au fil d'exemples nationaux, régionaux ou locaux et sur quatre continents (Europe, Amérique latine, Afrique, Asie), se dessine avec force le fil conducteur qui rattache la gestion de l'eau au processus de la mondialisation. L'eau mondialisée apparaît comme un laboratoire global où s'élaborent des gouvernances aussi diverses qu'originales. Les modèles anciens sont bousculés par la dynamique des forces sociales : usagers, collectivités territoriales, ONG, technocraties nationales et internationales... Des expériences sont engagées, des conflits éclatent, des compromis se nouent, des pratiques reçoivent valeur juridique, des institutions sont mises en place : par-delà ce bouillonnement d'idées et d'initiatives se profile l'un des enjeux majeurs du XXIe siècle, à savoir la prise en charge collective d'un accès à l'eau du plus grand nombre.
