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? Kirsten L.
Rodine-Hardy argues that international organizations - not national
governments or market forces - are the primary drivers of policy
convergence in the important arena of telecommunications
regulation: they create and shape preferences for reform and
provide forums for expert discussions and the emergence of policy
standards. Yet she also shows that international convergence leaves
room for substantial variation among countries, using both
econometric analysis and controlled case comparisons of eight
European countries.
