description The article aims to analyze the public water supply and sanitation policy during the Brazilian Labor Party's administrations between 2007 and 2014, identifying, in the policy instruments, an ambiguity between a commodification logic and a logic of sanitation as a social right. It examines the growth of private sanitation companies in the period, showing their characteristics, and the recent changes promoted by the entry of international capital. Finally, it presents, as a counterpoint to what has been happening in Brazil, international cases of public management resumption, which demonstrate that privatization is not the only alternative, and that it is possible to reconcile efficiency and a logic of sanitation as a social right.

Este artigo busca analisar a política pública de abastecimento de água e esgotamento sanitário durante as gestões do Partido dos Trabalhadores, entre 2007 e 2014, identificando, nos instrumentos da política, uma ambiguidade entre uma lógica mercantilizadora e uma lógica do saneamento como direito social. São examinados o crescimento das empresas privadas de saneamento no período, evidenciando suas características, e as mudanças recentes, com entrada do capital internacional. Finalmente, são apresentados, como o contraponto ao que vem ocorrendo no Brasil, casos internacionais de retomada da gestão pública, que demonstram que a privatização não é a única alternativa, e que é possível conciliar eficiência e uma lógica de saneamento como direito social. 2017-08-06 2022-03-17T19:05:53Z 2022-03-17T19:05:53Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/metropole/article/view/2236-9996.2017-3909 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/53628 por https://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/metropole/article/view/2236-9996.2017-3909/23348 Copyright (c) 2017 Cadernos Metrópole. application/pdf Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo Cadernos Metrópole; Vol. 19 Núm. 39 (2017): financeirização, mercantilização e urbanismo neoliberal; 557-581 Cadernos Metrópole; v. 19 n. 39 (2017): financeirização, mercantilização e urbanismo neoliberal; 557-581 2236-9996 1517-2422
