Description
This volume develops an analytical framework for the examination of the politics of privatisation. Dobek argues that privatisation is a strategy employed by politicians in their drive for power. The material resources and formal powers at the disposal of governments make them great patrons for the construction of coalitions, intended to promote the interests of political parties. The author further argues that, based on the examples of Great Britain and Poland, any privatisation campaign is ultimately shaped by political, rather than economic concerns. This text is designed to interest scholars and students of politics and economics.
