Limiting Resources by Ladawn Haglund
Using empirical evidence from Costa Rica and El Salvador, outlines alternative principles underlying water and electricity provision, including social rights, accountability, and environmental sustainability. Argues that an excessive market orientation marginalized these principles while weakening state structures and accountability mechanisms and benefiting a small group of elites.“This timely and important book traces the historical processes behind the privatisation of electricity and water services in El Salvador and Costa Rica, exploring the motivations behind these decisionsThe book is a model of comparative research design. . . . Haglund’s study deserves to be widely read by students and scholars of comparative politics, globalisation and development studies, and public policy and administration. Its theoretical sophistication and accessible writing style make it suitable for use in upper-level undergraduate and graduate classrooms, but also of interest to experts.”
