私有化在1980年代和1990年代在世界范围内蔓延，并在许多国家显著地改变了国家与市场之间的平衡。这本书对英国、美国和法国三个国家私有化的发展、形式、特征和原因进行了比较政治分析。作者认为，私有化是一种政治现象，应该作为一种政治现象来分析，而不是被视为对国家增长和国家提供成本的经济反应。私有化往往有明确的政治目标，其后果是将成本和利益重新分配给不同的群体。这本书提出了私有化政策的三种类型-实用主义，战术和系统-并将其与美国，法国和英国的经验分别联系起来。政治、经济、公共政策和商业研究方面的学生和学者以及私有化领域的决策者和顾问都将感兴趣。
Privatization has spread worldwide during the 1980s and 1990s, and has significantly reshaped the balance between state and market in many countries. This book provides a comparative political analysis of the development, form, character and causes of privatization in three countries: the UK, USA and France. The authors argue that privatization is a political phenomenon and should be analyzed as such, rather than being seen as an economic response to the growth of the state and the cost of state provision. Privatization frequently has explicit political goals, and has consequences which redistribute costs and benefits to different groups. The book presents a threefold typology of privatization policy - pragmatic, tactical and systemic - and relates it to the experiences of USA, France and UK respectively. It will be of interest to students and scholars of politics, economics, public policy and business studies, as well as policy-makers and consultants in the field of privatization.
