The Governance of Network Industries: Institutions, Technology and Policy in Reregulated Infrastructures (Studies in Evolutionary Political Economy) - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book addresses critical issues in the governance of network industries in terms of institutional design, technology and policy.

Infrastructures are subject to substantial readjustments of governance structures, often labeled as liberalization, privatization or reregulation. This affects all traditional infrastructure sectors including communications, energy, transport and water. This volume highlights and illustrates some of the major challenges for readjusting the governance of network industries from an economic, institutional, political and technological perspective. The three parts of the book address the institutional design of infrastructures, the role of technology in different sectors, and actor behavior.

Adopting a multidisciplinary perspective, this book will appeal to economists and political scientists with an interest in the management of network industries. It will also be of great value to policy-makers and regulators in the field.
