About this title

Synopsis

This thesis examines several important issues raised by the global water crisis. The world is currently in the midst of a water catastrophe that is holding back human progress, cosigning large segments of humanity to lives of poverty, vulnerability, and insecurity. Overcoming the crisis in water and sanitation is one of the most daunting global development challenges of the twenty-first century. This thesis explores several important issues that are raised in the ongoing debate between private versus public water management. These issues revolve around many of globalizations most pressing concerns including democracy, transparency, human rights, and contending global development theories. I concentrate on what lessons can be learned from ideological perspectives and focus on how they can help in formulating effective strategies for global water development in the future.
