- More about Corporate Capture of Development: Public-Private Partnerships, Women's Human Rights, and Global Resistance
Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) have gained attention for infrastructure development, but their impact on women's human rights has been under-explored. This book offers new insights from case studies in the Global South, applying an intersectional feminist approach to analyze the negative impacts on women and marginalized communities. It advocates for stronger regulatory frameworks and institutions to address these issues.
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 376 pages

Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC
In recent years, public-private partnerships (PPPs) have experienced a resurgence, garnering widespread attention from governments and funders as a promising solution for infrastructure development and public service provision. While critiques of corporate capture in development have been well established, the impact of PPPs on women's human rights has remained relatively under-explored. This open-access book aims to bridge this gap by presenting fresh insights through a collection of case studies from across the Global South. By adopting an intersectional feminist approach to PPPs, these cases facilitate comprehensive analysis that can inform advocacy and activism, while challenging dominant narratives and combating the adverse effects of PPPs on women and historically marginalized communities' human rights. The book advocates for robust regulatory frameworks and institutions, offering practical suggestions for their implementation. The examples analyzed encompass various sectors, including health, energy, and infrastructure, from countries such as Ethiopia, Peru, India, and Fiji.
