20.500.12556/RUL-153111 Reorganising local public utilities where and why we can argue for the remunicipalization trends? The paper is based on the use of evidence to scrutinise the effect of the Public-Private Partnership Act on the local public utility providers, where the context of the water and wastewater sector in Slovenia serves as an example. The Act affected the legal status of public enterprises, where solely public ownership was prescribed, and therefore demanded the reorganisation ofexisting public enterprises. The paper aims to evaluate the reorganisation process and the trend of remunicipalisation, the motives of reorganisation (political, pragmatic or transformative) and the advantages and disadvantages of the reorganisation process. A detailed, structured online guestionnaire was designed and pretested for primary data collection to reach these aims. The questionnaire was sent to the Slovenian local public utility providers in water and wastewater management. The data was collated from 2018 to 2020. It was used in the analysis to provide evidence about the outcomes of the reorganisation process. The results show that new legislation contributed to increased public ownership in local public utility provision. The results also reveal that pragmatic motivating factors contributed to increased municipal buying out of private investors from (public) enterprises. The reorganisation process led municipalities into remunicipalisation, meaning that full municipal ownership and control increased. local public utilities public enterprise remunicipalisation water and wastewater management lokalne javne službe javno podjetje remunicipalizacija upravljanje z vodo in odpadnimi vodami true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2023-12-18 10:52:45 2023-12-18 10:52:49 2023-12-19 03:44:21 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2023 0 0 Str. 122-142 iss. 2 Vol. 16 2023 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 352:33(497.4) 1338-4309 10.2478/nispa-2023-0016 177876995 RAZ_Petkovsek_Veronika_2023.pdf RAZ_Petkovsek_Veronika_2023.pdf 1 7415060D48DDAAC49ED2812023216398 b84d4cea654d2ca787c3ce329e128512e7352582536e163fcd53fb6a56e2a93f 7dcfece1-9d8b-11ee-a59a-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=178994 https://sciendo.com/article/10.2478/nispa-2023-0016 1 34c4e4f1-9d8b-11ee-a59a-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=178993 Fakulteta za upravo Ekonomska fakulteta 0 0 0
