After more than a decade of privatization, state-owned enterprises still account for nearly as large a share of developing countries’ economies as they did twenty years ago. Drawing on detailed case studies of twelve countries, this report explains how divestiture and other measures improve the economy, why politics often impedes reforms, how countries overcome obstacles, and why so few countries have reformed. The final chapter offers detailed guidance on how to competently reform state-owned companies.

Developing countries may have little cho

This policy-oriented book identifies the issues countries should consider as they reevaluate their old income security policies and formulate new methods. The choice between the various models for providing old-age security has broad implications for the operation of labor and capital markets, the fiscal system, and the level, growth, and distribution of GNP. The author concludes that a mixed strategy is more effective than any single method of income security. This will be an important book for international economists and policymakers.
