Dr Emanuele Lobina

Associate Professor, Public Services International Research Unit (PSIRU)

Dr Emanuele Lobina specialises in the political economy of water service reform in the global North and South. His more recent work reconceptualises public service efficiency in light of 21st century global challenges. It also attempts to understand the process and outcome of remunicipalisation, or reverse privatisation. Dr Lobina was awarded an ISRF Political Economy Fellowship (2017-2018). Over the last 20 years, his research has produced policy impact at an international level. He has conducted policy research for and provided expert evidence to international organisations, national and local governments, utilities and their associations, trade unions and civil society organisations. He has been invited to speak at dozens of academic and policy events around the world and his work has been translated into seven languages.

After collaborating as a research associate with the Swiss Graduate School of Public Administration and the University of Siena in Italy, he joined PSIRU in 1998 and the 秋葵视频 in 2000.
