After two decades of dominating the public sector reform agenda,
privatization is on the wane as states gradually reassert
themselves in many formerly privatized sectors. The change of
direction is a response to the realization that privatization is
not working as intended, especially in public service sectors. This
landmark volume brings together leading social scientists,
including B. Guy Peters, Anthony Cheung and Jon Pierre, to
systematically discuss the emerging patterns of the reassertion of
the state in the delivery of essential public services. The state
under these emerging arrangements assumes overall responsibility
for and control over essential public service delivery, yet allows
scope for market incentives and competition when they are known to
work. The recent reforms thus display a more pragmatic and nuanced
understanding of how markets work in public services . The first
part of the book provides the theoretical context while the second
provides sectoral studies of recent reforms in healthcare,
education, transportation, electricity and water supply. It
includes case studies from a range of countries: Brazil, China,
South Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, USA, Hong Kong and the
UK. This book will be of interest to students and scholars in
Political Science, Public Administration, Public Policy, Geography,
Political Economy, Sociology, and Urban Planning.
