Description: In the United Kingdom, some of the most important public utilities such as telecommunications, gas, and electricity have recently been privatized. Following unification, Germany is privatizing an entire economy. This book examines privatization, not previously subjected to rigorous economic analysis, providing a comprehensive and thorough survey of arguments both for and against it. The author discusses both positive and welfare-economic approaches dealing with the complex transitional problems moving from public to private ownership. He also examines central issues of privatization--why efficiency increases can be expected as a result of privatization, whether full privatization coupled with subsequent regulation is better than partial privatization with the government regulating from within the firm. He also looks at the role of trade unions in the privatization process.

Description: Based on the experiences of Chinese reforms, the book criticises the transition theories of the 'big-bang' and privatisation represented by Sachs and Kornai. Along with the adjustment of the industrial structure, the Chinese government decontrolled prices gradually. Meanwhile, the state-owned enterprise reform in China is leading to enhance managerial autonomy rather than privatisation. China has combined the 'gradual approach' of transition with the gradual process of economic development. The combination of transition and development gave China a chance to try something new.

Description: This important book focuses on the experience of the development of a dynamic private enterprise sector in developing countries and transitional economies. The discussion considers privatization, foreign investment and the ownership of small and medium sized firms in different countries. The first part of the book begins with an overview chapter which places the development of the private sector within the broader context of transition and development. Part two considers the issues of privatization and enterprise reform with case studies from China, Central and Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union, Russia, Malawi and Ghana, as well as the impact upon employment and social protection of reform and privatization. The final part focuses on the development of the private sector with a mixture of country case study chapters including Vietnam, Poland, Pakistan and the Newly Industrializing Economies in Asia. This book will be of special interest to practitioners, policy makers and academics and students of economics, development economics and development studies.

Description: Privatization - the transfer of responsibility for public services from the public to the private sector - currently evokes intense interest from policy makers. To its advocates, privatization conjures up visions of a lean, streamlined public sector reliant upon the private market-place for the delivery of public services. To opponents, it conjures up visions of a beleaguered government bureaucracy ceding vital public services to unreliable entrepreneurs. At best, privatization can reduce the costs of government and introduce new possibilities for the better delivery of services. At worst, it may undermine equity, quality, and accountability. In this book, scholars from several social science disciplines evaluate privatization efforts in the United States and abroad, and at different levels of government: federal, state, and local. They look primarily at three important policy areas - education, housing, and law enforcement - that sharply illustrate the dilemmas facing policy makers as the debate about privatization shifts from the delivery of "hard" services, such as refuse collection, to human services. Contributors have very different perspectives: some are enthusiastic about privatization, others are very skeptical indeed. None of these papers has been published elsewhere; the volume developed from a 1987 conference on privatization sponsored by the La Follette Institute of Public Affairs at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. A strength of this collection lies in its consideration of alternative forms of service delivery. The privatization of public housing, for instance, may involve subsidies to the poor (vouchers), tenant management (a hybrid form of privatization), or outright sale. How, and how well, have such policies worked? Examples from other countries may prove especially enlightening: the English sale of public housing to tenants is one of the largest asset sales in the entire privatization movement; Australia has experimented with the privatization of law enforcement and corrections. These issues are the subject of lively public debate in the United States today and are discussed at length in this volume. "Privatization and its Alternatives" speaks not only to scholars of public policy but also to a wide range of practitioners who must decide whether or how to privatize.
