Re-municipalization of public services: trend or hype? Clifton, Judith Warner, Mildred E. Gradus, Raymond Bel i Queralt, Germà, 1963- Administració municipal Serveis públics Privatització Anàlisi de sèries temporals Municipal government Public utilities Privatization Time-series analysis Re-municipalization is part of a broader set of reverse privatization reforms. We argue the term re-municipalization lacks conceptual clarity and often confuses municipal level reversals from national ones, new service delivery from reversals, and mixed market positions (such as corporatization) from full public control. This conceptual confusion makes measurement of re-municipalization difficult. While more case studies are being discovered, studies based on quantitative time series do not show re-municipalization as an increasing trend. Much case study based research argues re-municipalization is politically transformative, but quantitative research generally finds re-municipalization to be part of a pragmatic market management process, a position confirmed by the papers in this special issue. 2021-09-09T12:23:44Z 2021-09-09T12:23:44Z 2021-07-01 2021-09-09T12:23:44Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Reproducció del document publicat a: https://doi.org/10.1080/17487870.2019.1691344 Journal of Economic Policy Reform, 2021, vol. 24, num. 3, p. 293-304 https://doi.org/10.1080/17487870.2019.1691344 (c) Taylor and Francis, 2021 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Taylor and Francis Articles publicats en revistes (Econometria, Estadística i Economia Aplicada)
