Using a systematic comparative analysis of privatisation experiences in each country from the 1980s to the beginning of the twenty first century, the authors show how the process of European integration and the need for internationally competitive industries have constituted key driving forces in the quest for privatisation across the EU. As privatisation slows down at the turn of the millennium, what future can citizens expect for public enterprises? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrivatisation in the European Union\u003c\/strong\u003e is essential reading for researchers, students and policy-makers interested in privatisation, EU policy and the history of public enterprises.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2003-07-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781402074813\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4757-3733-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 174\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46265501614220,"sku":"9781402074813","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781402074813.jpg?v=1770781156","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781402074813","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
