This book provides a comprehensive discussion of the public policy
and management issues that are encountered in the regulation of
infrastructure and utilities. Drawing from theoretical arguments
and several case studies, the book is divided into three parts,
namely devising regulation, installing regulation, and making
regulation work. The first part covers theories of regulation,
regulatory policies, strategies and tools, and regulatory reforms.
The second part deals with the politics of regulation and
regulatory capacity. The third part discusses regulatory commitment
and investments, the performance of regulated industries, and the
design of regulatory systems. Case studies pay attention to various
sectors (including water, electricity, telecommunications,
highways, railways, district heating, and airports) from countries
in every region of the world. ; ;
This book offers theoretical and methodological guidelines for
researching the complex regulation of local infrastructure,
utilities and public services in the context of rapid urbanisation,
technological change, and climate change. It examines the
interactions between regulators, public officers, infrastructure
and utilities firms, public service providers, citizens, and civil
society organisations. It contains contributions from academics and
practitioners from various disciplinary perspectives and from many
regions of the world, illustrated with case studies from several
sectors including water, natural gas and electricity distribution,
local public transport, district heating, urban waste, and
environmental services.
In this time of acute financial pressure on public budgets, there
is an increasing interest worldwide in alternative ways for
governments to raise money, and how public authorities can develop
the capacity to administer revenues efficiently and effectively.
Taxation, the primary source of public revenue, is exposed to
various threats, while alternative sources of public revenues have
much potential but are rarely carefully designed and harnessed.
Public Sector Revenue: Principles, Policies and Management sets
itself apart from other textbooks through its exclusive focus on
the revenue side of public financial management. It provides the
reader with the theoretical foundations and practical tools to
understand the generation and management of revenues in the public
sector, and it weaves a wide range of international examples
throughout the text. Students will also benefit from a companion
website with supplements including test questions and answers to
the end-of-chapter discussion questions inside the book. This
textbook will be essential reading for students, managers and
policymakers within the areas of public financial management,
public sector accounting and public administration.
