This book reveals all that can potentially happen when a private company takes over a local water supply system, both the good and the bad. Backed by real life stories of water privatization in action, author Manuel Schiffler presents a nuanced picture free of spin or fear mongering.Inside, readers will find a detailed analysis of the multiple forms of water privatization, from the outright sale of companies to various forms of public-private partnerships. After covering their respective strengths and weaknesses, it then compares them to purely publicly managed water utilities.The book examines the privatization and the public management of water and sewer utilities in twelve countries: the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, the Philippines, Cambodia, Egypt, Jordan, Uganda, Bolivia, Argentina and Cuba. Readers will come to understand how and why some utilities failed while others succeeded, including some that substantially increased access, became more efficient and improved service quality even in the poorest countries of the world.It is natural that a private company taking over a local water supply system causes both fear and worry for consumers. With the aid of solid empirical evidence, this book argues that who manages the system is only half the story. Rather, it is the corporate culture of the utilities and the political culture of where they operate that more often than not determines performance and how well a community is served.

"Menschen und U-Boote" erzählt die Geschichte von Mannschaften und Kommandanten militärischer U-Boote sowie ihrer Konstrukteure, Befehlshaber und von Waffenhändlern. Weltweit, von den Anfängen bis heute.Es spannt den Bogen von dem ersten, mit Muskelkraft angetriebenen Ein-Mann-U-Boot 1775 über die atomkraftgetriebenen Giganten der Gegenwart mit Interkontinentalraketen und bis zu 120 Atombomben an Bord bis zu den unbemannten Unterwasserdrohnen der Zukunft. Es bezieht 50 Länder Europas, Nord- und Südamerikas, Afrikas, Asiens sowie Australien ein. Es stellt die Kameradschaft, aber auch Konflikte zwischen den Mannschaften dar, ebenso wie schwierige Entscheidungen, wie bei Angriffen auf Passagierschiffe und bei der Hilfe für Schiffbrüchige. Die Unterstützung durch Befehlshaber, aber auch deren Skrupellosigkeit, werden ebenso beschrieben wie der aktuelle Rüstungswettlauf unter Wasser in Asien und die verbreitete Korruption beim Verkauf von U-Booten in die ganze Welt.

The book deals with the potential conflicts over shared rivers in the Middle East, and with approaches towards cooperation regarding the Euphrates and Tigris, the Jordan and the Nile Rivers. Far from echoing the warnings about imminent water wars, the book highlights the potential for water savings and for cooperation in many fields inside and outside the water sector. Such creative approaches may foster interdependence, build trust, and create the incentives and conditions for an equitable sharing of international water resources in the Middle East. The text of the International Water Convention is also included.

The fonner Egyptian Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and fonner UN Secre tary General, Butros Butros Ghali stated after the second Gulf War "The next war in the Middle East will not be fought for oil, but for water. " This famous statement has been echoed by many politicians: shortly before be coming president of Turkey, SOleyman Demirel declared that the waters of the Euphrates and Tigris belonged to Turkey, just as oil belongs to the Arabs. Rafael Eytan, at that time and now again Israeli Minister of Agriculture, declared in 1990 in full-page advertisements in the Jerusalem Post that Israel would never cede the West Bank to the Palestinians because Israel''s water supply would otherwise be endangered. Finally, Ismail Serageldin, vice president of the World Bank, declared in 1995 that "the wars of the next century will be over water". These statements are typical of the atmosphere reigning in the Middle East and in several other places around the world concerning the issue of international fresh water resources. Whether these perceptions correspond to an actual threat to a nation''s water supply or whether they correspond to the official position of states in negotiations often conducted secretly, is an entirely different matter. A closer analysis of the issue of international fresh water resources, as we attempt in this book, admittedly reveals a dangerous potential for conflict over water.
