| Summary |
"This book shows the surprising ways in which globalization has led to the spread of liberal reforms in the telecommunications sector around the world"-- Provided by publisher |
|
"In recent years, liberalization, privatization, and deregulation have become commonplace in sectors once dominated by government-owned monopolies. In telecommunications, for example, during the 1990s, more than 129 countries established independent regulatory agencies and more than 100 countries privatized the state-owned telecom operator. Why did so many countries liberalize in such a short period of time? For example, why did both Denmark and Burundi, nations different along so many relevant dimensions, liberalize their telecom sectors around the same time?"-- Provided by publisher |
