abstract = {Numerous studies have considered the economic impact and
political influence of privatization. However, the theoretical
approaches previously applied to model privatization,
whether economic or political, have not obtained robust
results. To address this question, we present a new political
approach, based on mimetic isomorphism, which enables us
to more accurately define the relationship between privatization,
political theory and economic aspects. This new focus,
termed political mimetic isomorphism, hypothesizes that the
privatization of public services is influenced by an imitation
effect between neighboring municipalities that share a common
political ideology. In our study, this approach is applied,
using geostatistical tools and logistic regression analysis with
spatial variables, to a sample of municipalities that privatized
their water and/or waste collection services during the
period 2014–2019. The results obtained demonstrate the
validity of the theoretical model of political mimetic isomorphism
and show that this factor exerts a stronger influence
on privatization than certain economic variables.},
