Abstract

ABSTRACT The idea of “pragmatism” provides a successful account explaining why municipalities re-internalize previously privatized responsibilities for service delivery. This paper develops the idea by accounting for remunicipalization in contexts defined by failures with service innovation – rather than delivery – under privatization. This account highlights remunicipalization as an act of public entrepreneurship and offers a complementary explanation for the dynamics in local service restructuring. Analytical utility is demonstrated in a case study of the restructuring of local energy supply in Aalborg Municipality, Denmark. In perspective, the paper refines the understanding of contexts, behaviours, and dynamics leading to remunicipalizations in the twenty-first century.

解决公共价值失败：作为公共创业行为的重新市政化

摘要“实用主义”的理念成功地解释了为什么市政当局将以前私有化的服务提供责任重新内化。本文通过对私有化下服务创新而非交付失败的背景下的重新市政化进行解释来发展这一观点。这篇报道强调了重新市政化是一种公共创业行为，并对地方服务重组的动态提供了补充解释。分析效用在丹麦奥尔堡市当地能源供应重组的案例研究中得到了证明。从长远来看，本文完善了对21世纪重新市政化的背景、行为和动力的理解。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Economic Policy Reform focuses on the analysis of economic policy reform. The journal draws upon what lessons can be learned from the successes and failures of countries undertaking reforms and how existing theories can be developed to shed light on positive as well as normative aspects of the reform process. The Journal of Economic Policy Reform encourages work from economists and political economy analysts on policies to promote growth and reduce poverty, intellectual property rights, aid versus trade, debt and debt relief, taxation and social security systems, surveys of key reform issues, as well as on corruption, democracy, emerging markets and the role of multilateral institutions.
