Plugging The Democracy Drain In The Struggle For Universal Access To Safe Drinking Water, Tara Paul
Plugging The Democracy Drain In The Struggle For Universal Access To Safe Drinking Water, Tara Paul
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
Privatization of water delivery services has become a global trend as states seek ways to shift both political and economic costs to private actors. The advantage of privatization is that it relieves governments of the daunting expense of repairing and expanding water infrastructure in order to improve quality and reach marginalized communities. But water privatization has also been deeply criticized for corrupt practices, increasing prices to the poor, undermining human rights objectives, and dodging accountability. This note aims to find middle ground, acknowledging that privatization is an important tool to increase freshwater access, but that treating water as a human …
Globalization And The Privatization Of Welfare Administration In Indiana, Alfred C. Aman
Globalization And The Privatization Of Welfare Administration In Indiana, Alfred C. Aman
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
This article explores the relationship of globalization to domestic law in the context of privatized welfare services in Indiana. It examines the ways that privatization can affect vulnerable populations such as welfare recipients by, in effect, partially dis-embedding the market from the state. It applies Karl Polanyi's conception of a double movement to illustrate how the political process can, in effect, re-embed the market in the state. Utilizing Indiana's recent experiences with welfare administration privatization, this article shows that re-embedding is not a simple question of reversing decisions already taken, but rather a complex sequencing of political and legal engagements. …
Private Actors And Public Governance Beyond The State: The Multinational Corporation, The Financial Stability Board, And The Global Governance Order, Larry Cata Backer
Private Actors And Public Governance Beyond The State: The Multinational Corporation, The Financial Stability Board, And The Global Governance Order, Larry Cata Backer
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
Transnational corporations are at the center of extraordinary and complex governance systems that are developing outside the state and international public organizations and beyond the conventionally legitimating framework of the forms of domestic or international hard law. Though these systems are sometimes recognized as autonomous and authoritative among its members, they are neither isolated from each other nor from the states with which they come into contact. Together these systems may begin to suggest a new template for networked governance beyond the state, but one in which public and private actors are integrated stakeholders. This provides the source of the …
Who's Responsible For This? The Globalization Of Healthcare In Developing Countries, Joshua P. Reading
Who's Responsible For This? The Globalization Of Healthcare In Developing Countries, Joshua P. Reading
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
One aspect of globalization in the developed world is the privatization of services once provided by government. This trend is also arising in developing countries, albeit for different reasons, and an area where this privatization is occurring is healthcare. Despite this privatization, the standard of healthcare in many developing countries is unacceptably low. This Note provides an analysis of this phenomenon in one country-Pakistan, a developing country that has increasingly come to rely on private providers, nongovernmental organizations, and international relief groups for the provision of healthcare-in order to draw conclusions that can be applied elsewhere. While this privatization does …

Stop Stomping On The Rest Of Us: Retrieving Publicness From The Privatization Of The Globe, Zillah Eisenstein
Stop Stomping On The Rest Of Us: Retrieving Publicness From The Privatization Of The Globe, Zillah Eisenstein
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
Professor Eisenstein's article discusses the effects of globalization on the
relationship between privatization and public responsibility and how this
dynamic impacts the future of women across the globe. She argues that the
global growth of privatization in the North and West has disseminated around
the world to the detriment of women. Privatization, she contends, has been
accepted as the agenda of politicians for the late twentieth century, and public
responsibility has been lost as a result.
According to Professor Eisenstein, globalization has been essentially an
economic process in which a global economy surfaces without differences or
borders. The global economy, …
