The William Anderson Award is given for the best dissertation in the area of intergovernmental relations, federalism, state, or local politics. Award Committee: Nancy Burns, Chair, University of Michigan; Ricardo Ramirez, University of Southern California; and Kim M. Williams, Harvard University Recipient: Alison Post, University of California, Berkeley Dissertation Title: “Liquid Assets and Fluid Contracts: Explaining the Uneven Effects of Water and Sanitation Privatization” Dissertation Chair: Jorge Dominguez, Harvard University Citation: Post's dissertation advances compelling reasons to rethink big debates about infrastructure privatization in developing countries. The empirical evidence strongly supports a novel yet intuitive theoretical claim. At the same time, the practical implications of the findings—which are laid out quite lucidly—could not be more pressing. In all, Post weaves together empirical, theoretical and policy commentary into an insightful and well-researched narrative about human access to potable water and sanitation. |
