Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: What are the consequences for inequality and security in less developed states when the Hegemon tries to impose its values, especially of free market capitalism, in health policies? Health security, according to Price-Smith, adversely impacts economic development and political stability internally, and can create international crises replete with war and refugees. A critical question is water, because disease and death (particularly of children) are more likely to occur where water supplies are contaminated, or inadequate. Paper traces the 1993 World Bank policy that led to the demand that Third World countries privatize water and sanitation facilities; the two are separate. The IMF and WB refused loans to the poorest and most debt-ridden unless water was privatized. Competition was lacking: only a few multinationals exist in the water industry, and few states hade domestic corporations that could compete. Identifies some of the erroneous assumptions made by the US/WB/IMF about multi-national corporate behavior. Poster session focuses on preliminary analysis of the successes and failures of Multinational Corporations in operating privatized water systems. Utilizes data currently available, so the N is small. What is the effect of important political/governmental dimensions (Kaufman), such as regulatory quality, rule of law, governmental effectiveness and control of corruption, all identified as critical by the WB. Is there any relationship between voice & accountability or political stability on the success or failure of MNCs? What is the relationship between socio-economic characteristics such as levels of wealth, ratio of rich: poor; HDI, mortality rates; adult illiteracy, armed forces index, etc., on success and failure?
