Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
This volume assesses the arguments for and against deregulation of the energy sector and highlights the political, legal, institutional, and resource requirements for successful implementation of a privatization program, drawing on international experience. Indeed, privatization is spreading globally after its small and uncertain beginnings in Britain in the early 1980s. Today, states of the Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC)are actively examining the privatization of a number of key industries and infrastructure projects. The route to prosperous and effective privatization programs is for the GCC states to learn from the mistakes of others while emulating the success stories.
