Corporate Capture of Development: Public-Private Partnerships, Women’s Human Rights, and Global Resistance

Rodríguez Enriquez, Corina and Masaya Llavaneras Blanco (Eds. on behalf of Development Alternatives with Women for a New Era, DAWN,) (2023) Corporate Capture of Development: Public-Private Partnerships, Women’s Human Rights, and Global Resistance, Bloomsbury Publishing, UK. Open Access.

Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) have gained renewed momentum in recent years and are viewed by governments and funders alike as a silver bullet for infrastructure development and public service provision. Critiques of the corporate capture of development are well established, yet until now the urgent question of the impacts of PPPs on women’s human rights around the world has remained under-explored.

This open access book aims to fill the gap, providing new insights from case studies across the Global South. Bringing an intersectional feminist approach, these cases enable analysis to inform advocacy and activism, challenge dominant narratives, and resist the negative impacts of PPPs on women and marginalized communities. The examples analyzed cover sectors including health, energy, and infrastructure from countries such as Ethiopia, Peru, India, and Fiji. The eBook editions are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 license on Bloomsbury Collections, funded by Development Alternatives with Women for a New Era (DAWN).
