Transnational Corporations in Urban Water Governance
Author: Joyce Valdovinos
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000426661
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 199
Book Description
This book examines the role played by business in urban water governance by analyzing the evolution of the global private water sector along with four public-private partnerships in Mexico and the U.S. The local nature of water services often hides the global developments behind the rise of transnational water corporations, which have gone from being local operators to becoming dynamic and powerful actors within an interconnected transnational space for water. This book focuses on the French groups Veolia and Suez, two of the most prominent private actors in global water governance, and the development and adaptation strategies of both companies in the cities of Aguascalientes, Mexico City, Atlanta, and Milwaukee over the past 30 years. Drawing on over 100 interviews conducted with corporate executives, public authorities, and local users of water services, this book moves beyond the simplistic dichotomy of the public-private debate and develops a theoretical framework that analyzes the economic and political power wielded by transnational business actors in global water governance. Not only does the book explain how Veolia and Suez strategically mobilize resources at difference scales in order to expand their global operations, but it also provides a nuanced picture of how state regulation remains of central importance to understanding the dynamics and evolution of the global water sector. Students and scholars interested in business and the environment, including public-private partnerships, business management and transnational corporations, and water governance, will find this book of great interest as will professionals and policymakers working in these fields.

Ecuadorians in Madrid
Author: Araceli Masterson-Algar
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 1137536071
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 291
Book Description
In the decade between 1998-2008, Spain became the main destination for Ecuadorian migrants, and Madrid, Spain's capital, became the city with the largest Ecuadorian population outside of Ecuador. Through a combination of ethnographic research and cultural analysis, this book addresses the interconnections between spatial practices, cultural production, and definitions of citizenship in migration dynamics between Ecuador and Spain, showing how Ecuadorians are key actors in Madrid's recent urban history. Looking at the city as form and content, constitutive and constituting of ideological processes, each chapter analyzes the spatial practices of Madrid's Ecuadorian residents through various forms: the body, the home, public and leisure spaces, the city, the nation, and transnational circuits. Rather than addressing migrants as a general human type marked by (dis)placement, each chapter offers an illustration of how Ecuadorian migrants forge transnational processes through their everyday lives in specific time and place, and how these processes manifest culturally on both sides of the Atlantic.

Book Description
"El siglo XX se caracterizó principalmente por la urbanización de la sociedad. En este contexto la ciudad latinoamericana devino en laboratorio de la modernidad: Emerge aquí lo urbano como episteme. El presente libro analiza la complicidad entre la economía y la cultura en este proyecto de modernizar América Latina mediante la urbanización, enfocándose en la relación entre saber y poder. Discute, igualmente, los conceptos claves alrededor del cambio de paradigma de la espacialización del análisis cultural en el debate de teoría cultural latinoamericana surgido a manera de respuesta a estos radicales procesos de transformación urbana, ya experimentados en ciudades como Bogotá, São Paulo, Brasilia y México. Asimismo, rastreando una genealogía del discurso de la ciudad, presenta una teoría de lo urbano que facilita una perspectiva crítica global orientada hacia la redemocratización del espacio."--
