It also covers the role of judicial institution and legal system this process. They key argument of this dissertation is that privatisation is a product of interplay between the interest of global agencies and the national elites. The legal system and judiciary plays a pivotal role in mediating the adjustment of national regulation to fit into a global standard in water management.
