Beyond Privatization takes the reader on a privatization drive, mapping the developed and developing world; covering the political, economic and socio-cultural dimensions; pointing out the impediments and hazards on the way and providing a preview of the path ahead. It provides an insight into the theoretical and practical aspects of privatization in the United Kingdom, Eastern Germany, post-communist societies, developing countries and India. The book looks beyond privatization by focusing on the non-economic dimensions of privatizations - historical, cultural, political and non-institutional.
