Refining Regulatory Regimes Utilities in Europe

Regulation is on the rise across the world as the state steps back from public ownership. However, as the authors highlight, the style of political delegation to regulatory authorities has not followed a uniform trajectory but rather institutional endowments, administrative traditions, market structure and business culture have all influenced the creation of regulatory authorities and implementation styles. Noting these variances, the focus of this book is to consider the impact of liberalisation and the introduction of new regulatory structures on three utility sectors; telecommunications, energy and the railways, using Germany and the UK as case studies.Coen, David is the author of 'Refining Regulatory Regimes Utilities in Europe', published 2006 under ISBN 9781845423872 and ISBN 1845423879.
