Privatization: a Panacea or a Palliative : Development Papers

Privatisation has emerged as a major policy issue for most developing countries in recent years, as part of the economic reform agenda for structural adjustment programmes that embrace free trade, financial liberalisation and a reduction of state involvement in the economy. This book reviews research into the impact of privatisation on economic efficiency, employment, equity and the government budget, and seeks to identify the preconditions required in order to achieve effective privatisation policies.Islam, Azizul is the author of 'Privatization: a Panacea or a Palliative : Development Papers', published 2005 under ISBN 9789211200478 and ISBN 9211200474.
