Abstract

The main research questions are:

2. How will government (central, regional and local) actions to change and expand public services be influenced by TISA conditions in the four sectors;
3. What are the implications of TISA for the process of re-municipalisation taking place in energy and water and potentially in health/social care?

Geographical scope

Australia, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Pakistan, Peru, South Korea, Turkey, the United States, and the European Union,
