* An assessment of the importance of market structure and regulation;
* A discussion of privatization strategies within the public sector;
* Individual country case-studies, looking at the experience of different countries engaged in the contrasting approaches to privatization.
* A critical assessment of the much vaunted relationship between ownership and efficiency.
