As mentioned in the previous blog, Paraguay recently held presidential elections. Former Catholic Bishop Fernando Lugo was elected, breaking 62 years of rule under a single party.
For more information on the issues within the government of Paraguay and the new president, click here. Hopefully new political rule offers potential for improvement of the resources and quality of life for the people of Paraguay, such as increasing the much needed availability of water and sanitation.
The entries in this blog about the privatization of water in Asunción, Paraguay are written by Leah, Natalie, and Rich as part of a portfolio in Environmental Sociology Spring 2008.
Subject for the blog entries is based largely upon Volatile Places: A Sociology of Communities and Environmental Controversies and external research. Please, read about the following environmental and social issues behind water privatization and the exploration into the defiance of basic human rights-- or is it?
