I28-R145-2637_oai2025-02-11 Acuña, Carlos Cetrángolo, Oscar Cáceres, Verónica Goldschmit, Ariela 2023-02-15 This work analyzes the political economy of water and sanitation policies in Argentina. From a historical point of view, it sets the focus in the institutional, policy and regulatory incentives faced by socio-political actors and economic agents involved in the decision-making that affects the provision of the water service. Within this framework it highlights that these policies were affected by contextual variables (that set the question of water and sanitation in the broader context of the economy and the political-institutional characteristics of Argentina) and by those specific to the government and coordination of the policy sector. The analysis shows that the problems of the sectorial policies and their causes, are historically deeply rooted. Finally, the study concludes stressing the need to prioritize the strengthening of the institutions that deal with the design and implementation of water and sanitation. And this as a first step, an unavoidable pre-condition, to sustain the long process that demands the solution of the problems that permeate the provision of water and sanitation in Argentina. Este trabajo analiza la economía política de las políticas de agua y saneamiento en la Argentina. A partir de una mirada histórica que coloca el acento explicativo en los incentivos institucionales, de políticas y regulatorios que enfrentan los actores socio-políticos y agentes económicos involucrados con las decisiones que afectan al sector. En este marco destaca las razones por las que la política de agua y saneamiento se vio afectada por cuestiones contextuales (que colocan a la problemática del agua en el marco amplio de la economía y las características político-institucionales de la Argentina) y específicas de gobierno/coordinación del sector. El análisis muestra que los problemas de las políticas sectoriales y las causas de los mismos, no constituyen novedades sino que exhiben profundas raíces históricas. Finalmente, el estudio acentúa como conclusión la necesidad de priorizar el fortalecimiento de la institucionalidad del diseño e implementación de las políticas del sector, como el primer paso que resulta precondición para el sostenimiento del largo proceso que demanda la resolución de los problemas que permean a la provisión de agua y saneamiento en nuestro país. application/pdf https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/DT-IIEP/article/view/2637 spa Instituto Interdisciplinario de Economía Política (IIEP UBA-CONICET) https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/DT-IIEP/article/view/2637/3382 Documentos de trabajo del Instituto Interdisciplinario de Economía Política; Núm. 22 (2017): Documento de trabajo del Instituto Interdisciplinario de Economía Política UBA CONICET; 43 Working Papers series at Instituto Interdisciplinario de Economía Política; No. 22 (2017): Working paper of Interdisciplinary Institute of Political Economy of Buenos Aires UBA CONICET; 43 2451-5728 Políticas de agua y saneamiento Incentivos de actores socio-políticos y agentes económicos Water and sanitation policies Socio-political actors and economic agents’ incentives State capacities The political economy of water and sanitation policy in Argentina La economía política de la política de agua y saneamiento en la Argentina info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=dociiep&d=2637_oai |

This work analyzes the political economy of water and sanitation policies in Argentina. From a historical point of view, it sets the focus in the institutional, policy and regulatory incentives faced by socio-political actors and economic agents involved in the decision-making that affects the provision of the water service. Within this framework it highlights that these policies were affected by contextual variables (that set the question of water and sanitation in the broader context of the economy and the political-institutional characteristics of Argentina) and by those specific to the government and coordination of the policy sector. The analysis shows that the problems of the sectorial policies and their causes, are historically deeply rooted. Finally, the study concludes stressing the need to prioritize the strengthening of the institutions that deal with the design and implementation of water and sanitation.
