#The challenges of privatization are well described in this International Handbook. On the theoretical side, market efficiency gains are shown to be balanced with agency and market failure losses. Empirically, a wide range of case studies offer many lessons on best practices. The book should be invaluable both to practitioners and scholars.# # Elizabeth Bailey, University of Pennsylvania, US Privatization has dominated industrial restructuring programs since the 1980s and continues to do so. This authoritative and accessible Handbook considers all aspects of this key issue, including the theory of privatization; privatization in transition, developed and developing economies; as well the economic regulation of privatized industries.
