Privatization and Deregulation in Global Perspective

Privatization and Deregulation in Global Perspective

Dennis J. Gayle; Jonathan N. Goodrich

Praeger Publishers Inc
1990
sidottu
In this volume the leading scholars and practitioners in the field provide a comprehensive, in-depth examination of trends in privatization throughout the world. Focusing primarily on the experiences of seventeen countries--including developing countries, advanced industrial nations, and socialist states--the book explores theoretical approaches toward the issues inherent in privatization and deregulation, specifies techniques for successful privatization, and examines the cost-benefits and limits of privatization policies. The contributors then present a series of twenty detailed case studies which assess the actual problems and prospects associated with privatization and deregulation policy choices across varied sociopolitical systems and a range of economic sectors. The result is the most extensive comparative public policy analysis yet published on the subject of privatization and deregulation.Following an introductory overview which addresses the interaction between privatization, deregulation and market liberalization within both developed and developing country policy environments, the contributors discuss the philosophical bases of privatization policies, examine the seminal experiences of Britain and the United States, and identify factors responsible for successful privatization efforts. This is followed by case studies of privatization in such sectors as finance, transportation, health care, housing, and telecommunications around the world. After special sectoral studies of developing country finance, debt-equity conversions, and international air transport, the authors successively survey the experience of privatization in selected Latin American, Caribbean, West African and Asian developing nations; in the advanced industrial nations of Canada, France, New Zealand, and Sweden; and in the socialist countries of China, Hungary, and Poland. In their conclusion, the editors discuss the immediate implications of the contributors' findings and suggest research directions for the future. Numerous explanatory tables and figures are included, making this an ideal supplemental text for courses in business, government, and public policy.

The year is 2035 and Charlie Noble invents N-hanced, an app for nano computers in the human brain. It promises to bring hope and prosperity to the downtrodden by making users instant experts on any subject. It will also free Charlie from his personal demons. While still in the testing phase, one of his coworkers is murdered. Then one of his test subjects apparently commits suicide under mysterious circumstances. Before Charlie can find out whether the problem is his software, corporate espionage or something else entirely, his company's board of directors terminates the project, bringing his dream crashing down and reigniting his secret fears. Wrongly accused of negligent homicide, Charlie flees government agents who threaten his life. He turns to his estranged friend, Jeff, who has abandoned all things high tech and is against everything Charlie stands for. Jeff is Charlie's last hope to help save him from disgrace and a life in prison-and to put N-hanced back on the track to changing the world. What early readers are saying: Adrenalin-charged and hard to put down. Science fiction, mystery, action/adventure and courtroom drama. Stars makes it all work exceptionally well. --Ray Walsh --Lansing State Journal This is an absolutely amazing story I enjoyed reading it immensely. I think the book is a really brilliant achievement-fully imagined, thoroughly plotted, peopled with strong, interesting and believable characters. It has a clear dramatic arc... and it engages the reader's emotions: we become deeply invested in the outcome of the story and the welfare of the characters we are meant to care about. --David Rumohr Jonathan really knows how to keep readers on edge. It's been hard to stop reading this since chapter one. Very exciting I hope there's a sequel because I certainly enjoyed this book --Valerie Cranfill Jonathan Stars has managed to tell a compelling story that contains elements of science fiction, mystery and courtroom drama. Stars understands the inner workings of human emotions so his characters come to life. Combine this with his descriptions of the near future and you have a first rate story. I was hooked from the first page --John Couretas Not being particularly savvy about deep technology I dove into this book expecting to be overwhelmed. Before long I got sucked in. By the time I was half way through I could hardly put it down. The courtroom sequences and interludes raced along and the author's descriptions of scenes were vivid. It was a great read --Steve Purdy

Here is a book brimming with many unusual and frightening stories, all within the off kilter subject matter which permeates the book from cover to cover. "DRIBS n DRABS", has inadvertently been in the making for over 35 years, and is simply the first time I've resurrected some of the most unsettling short stories I've written throughout my lifetime. Dusted them off, so to speak, and included them here in this compilation. The reason I named it "Dribs n Drabs", is because it is basically an assortment of non-related dark tales and poems, all of them unique and unyielding So, come along with me and escape for a little while to places where nightmares lurk a few layers below normality where the Earth ends, where fiends roam unabated, and nothing is as it appears.So, now that this obligatory summary is out of the way allow me to guide you through some places you've never been before...

It's the first time Lou Crasher discovers a corpse. What hurts is the woman, Trix Rockland, was a friend. His instinct screams for him to back out of the apartment and call the law. But Lou being Lou, he hops into investigation mode. Naturally, that's when the rookie cop with the hair trigger happens on the scene. Lou now stands over a dead body and has some explaining to do. Satisfied with the onsite interview carried out by detective Tanaka, an Asian cop who's more than easy on the eyes, Crasher is free to go-temporarily. It's not long before the hot detective makes Lou an offer he should refuse-but maybe he can't. CEO George Lux of Come Get Some Records recently signed Trix to a record deal, which should be cause for celebration. But not in Lou's mind-Lux is shady. The entire band is on Lou's suspect list including a hot tempered ex-boyfriend, and a steroid swilling, Rottweiler owning freelance drummer with a small man's complex. Trix's daughter Jill, who happens to be Lou's drums student, is devastated by the loss of her mother. But the yarns she spins Lou's way make the rocker turned P.I. dizzier than three fingers of the eighteen year old Macallan he drinks. Few P.I.'s work completely alone and Lou is no different. Lou's half brother Jake, the mysterious grizzled (brawler) of few words, gives Lou a hand where he needs it, and Landlady, Violet Wiggins continues to offer priceless wisdom to Lou. The obstacles mount for Lou. In addition to a vicious Rottweiler named Killer, a Napoleonic psychotic freelance drummer, an ex-boyfriend of the deceased with a short fuse, a bass player who's obsession over the singer is off the charts, two ex-military thugs, and a mysterious woman who's presence raises the hair on Lou's neck all threaten to stop Crasher from doing what he needs to do. But if Lou's sandwich making is uninterrupted and his cocktail swilling is in check, he's a hard man to beat. The only problem is Lou needs time and time is running out Praise for DRUMS, GUNS 'N' MONEY: "Drums, Guns 'n' Money is a jazzy up tempo mystery that kicks like a snare roll. Jonathan Brown brings his musicality to this down and dirty crime story. Loved it " -SA Cosby, bestselling author of Razorblade Tears "The appropriately named Lou Crasher in Mr. Brown's Drums, Guns 'n' Money is an adroitly percussive unlicensed private eye who knows the staccato rhythms of the city as he moves and grooves through its warrens to get to the real. The tempo is terse, and the pace of the narrative propels the reader to keep turning the pages. A winner." -Gary Phillips, author of One-Shot Harry "Drums, Guns 'n' Money doubles as a knowing travelogue illuminating the private corners of the sometimes trashy, always intriguing L.A. music scene. But the main attractions here are Lou Crasher, an amateur sleuth you won't forget, and a propulsive, wise-cracking mystery that twists and turns around a backbeat that never quits. Like his drummer hero, Jonathan Brown can flat out rock and roll." -Howard Michael Gould, novelist, television writer, screenwriter, director, playwright, and author of the Charlie Waldo series "Good crime fiction shines in the darkness. Brown's excellent work sets the sky on fire. Read it to see the new wave of crime writers at its best " -Terrence McCauley, award-winning, bestselling author of The Wandering Man
