"Wasserver- und Entsorgung gehörten in den Industrieländern lange Zeit zur staatlichen Daseinsvorsorge, in den Entwicklungsländern zum Kern eines modernen Entwicklungsstaates. In den frühen 1990er Jahren drängte die Privatwirtschaft zunehmend in den Wasserbereich. Da insbesondere in den Entwicklungsländern der Umgang mit Wasser Aufgabe von Frauen ist, schienen die in (teil-)privatisierten Versorgungssystemen praktizierten Modelle von Partizipation nicht nur dem Interesse von Frauen am Zugang zu sauberem Wasser, sondern auch dem strategischen Ziel von Empowerment zu dienen. Eine genauere Analyse indes ergibt ein differenziertes Bild der Einbindung in Verflechtungen von lokaler männlicher Dominanz mit globalen gewinnorientierten Strategien. In der zweiten Hälfte der 1990er Jahre wirkten Widerstand gegen Privatisierungen und Ernüchterung über die erzielbaren Gewinne auf einen Strategiewandel sowohl der Wasserkonzerne als auch der politischen Akteurinnen hin."

"In industrial countries the provision of drinking water and sanitation used to form part of the welfare state, in developing countries they belonged to the hallmarks of a modern development state. In the early nineties the private sector increasingly took an interest in water. As particularly in developing countries the handling of water falls to women, access to clean water met their practical needs at the same time as models of participation appeared to meet their strategic interest in empowerment. An in-depth analysis gives a differentiated picture of the embeddedness of participation in local structures of male dominance in interaction with global profitoriented strategies. Since the second half of the nineties resistance against water privatisation, and a re-assessment on the part of transnational corporations, led to a certain change in strategy."
