Water Pricing and Public-Private Partnership

  • Publisher: Routledge

There is no question that water pricing and public-private partnership can improve water management practices in the future. However, this concept is neither the cure-all many proponents argue, nor the disaster its opponents forecast. Providing a comprehensive and objective assessment of what does and does not work, where, why and under what circumstances, this informative collection assesses the social, economic, equity and institutional implications. This cohesive set of carefully selected essays, the result of The Third World Centre for Water Management and the Inter-American Development Bank's decision to objectively and critically assess the experiences in these areas, transcends the current dogmatic debate on these complex issues. Providing an in-depth analysis and assessment of the main issues and constraints of water pricing, private sector participation and their affect on water supply, the collection draws on illustrative case studies from Argentina, Brazil, the USA and Western European countries amongst others. This is a special issue of the Journal of Water Resource Development.

Autonomy in Education

The push towards greater autonomy is one of the three main trends in every modern educational policy, alongside quality assurance and quality evaluation techniques and the need to devote attention to special — and often disadvantaged — target groups. It is, however, difficult to derive a unified concept of `autonomy’ from the comparative indicators which are published on a regular basis and it has emerged that there are significant differences depending on the specific area and the administrative organisation of education in the country in question. During the discussions of the annual Congress of the European Association for Education Law and Policy (ELA) in Salzburg (1998) it was app...

Lecturas de derecho de aguas. El derecho de aguas en Latinoamérica y Europa

  • Categories: Law

No es exagerado afirmar que el derecho de aguas adquirió vida propia respecto de las antiguas categorías del derecho administrativo, en particular la del dominio público, que hoy se muestra desueta y poco actual para responder a las necesidades de protección de los recursos hídricos, pero que se resiste a desaparecer. Parece que la ambientalización del derecho de aguas ha ido en detrimento de su demanialización. Sin embargo, no se puede negar la importante relación entre el derecho de aguas y el de los bienes públicos. Con este libro de investigación los miembros de la Red Internacional de Bienes Públicos quieren aportar, desde el derecho administrativo y, en particular, desde Los bienes públicos, una visión original de las transformaciones recientes del derecho de aguas y su incidencia en los países objeto de análisis.
