Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Just in the past six years, the number of people in the global South receiving their water from private water companies has risen seventeen fold; by 2015, industry analysts predict more than one billion people worldwide will be buying their water from European-based water firms, including 60 percent of all the water consumers in Latin America. These days, few countries can borrow capital from the World Bank or IMF without a domestic water privatization policy as a pre-condition. From where has this major environmental policy shift come and how has it spread so quickly with such legitimacy and authority? This paper focuses on the transnational policy networks promoting global water reform to help shed light on the increasingly significant phenomenon of transnational policy networking � linking environment and development NGOs and global water policy experts with chambers of commerce -- and the ways in which the World Bank facilitates their growth and legitimacy. In contrast to the western media�s fascination with anti-globalization activists, this paper asks who comprises the �official� transnational expert networks on the other side of the fence, from where their authority derives, and what are the institutional effects of their extraordinary rise in power. One result of this prodigious global networking has been the spread of what I call �green neoliberalism.�
