The postal and delivery sector has been the subject of considerable
interest in recent years. This book brings together a number of
contributions directed at understanding developments in the field
of postal reform. The authors review the experience and plans of
individual countries to provide some perspective on the problems
faced in the area and the varied approaches being taken to address
them. They also review key elements of policy and strategy that are
important in this debate. Gradual change occurred throughout the
world's postal systems during the 1990s and into the 21st century.
Regulatory and legal developments, together with advances in
micro-electronics, fiber optics, and electronic substitution,
continue to have a major impact on the sector. Regulatory changes
have been most visible in Europe with the approval of the 3rd
Postal Directive for the European Union in 2008. However, Europe
has not been alone in facing these changes. Legislators in the US
have also attempted to respond to changes in postal markets with
the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006 (PAEA).
Similar trends toward restructuring and reform of the sector are
evident in other countries as well. This comprehensive book
analyzes and describes the forces underlying these changes, the
nature of the responses to them at national and regional levels,
and some of the major challenges that postal operators, postal
customers, and regulators are likely to encounter in the future.
Scholars and students of regulation in general and those
specifically interested in the postal and delivery sector will find
this volume invaluable, as will policymakers and professionals
within the industry.
