Description:	Th is book tells the story of these struggles – of how they are both deeply local and yet also embedded in relationships that cross and re-cross national borders. It focuses on the turbulent upheavals of 1990–2005 that held up two models of governance as answers to the urgent questions posed by the provision of collective and essential goods such as water. One was managed liberalisation, the other a reinvigorated image of public provision that aspired to infuse or even supersede bureaucratic state management with participatory democracy. Th e core message of the evolving struggles between these models is that the striking contrast between ‘water as a commodity’ and ‘water as a human right’ makes considerable sense at a macro-political level, but is deeply ambiguous at the micro- institutional level. Th is ambiguity is refl ected in the hybrid solutions which have emerged across and within the case studies explored in forthcoming chapters, a complication of the initial dichotomy which has intensifi ed since 2005
