Reforming Infrastructure : Privatization, Regulation and Competition
ISBN: 9780821350706 / Angielski / Miękka / 322 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Infrastructure is crucial for generating growth, alleviating poverty, and increasing international competitiveness. For much of the 20th century and in most countries, the network utilities that delivered infrastructure services such as electricity, natural gas, telecommunications, railroads, and water supply were vertically and horizontally integrated state monopolies. This approach often resulted in extremely weak services, especially in developing and transition economies, and particularly for poor people. Common problems included low productivity, high costs, bad quality, insufficient...

Granting and Renegotiating Infrastructure Concessions: Doing It Right
ISBN: 9780821357927 / Angielski / Miękka / 199 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Little over a decade ago, infrastructure concessions promised to solve Latin America's endemic infrastructure deficit. Awarded in competitive auctions, these concessions were supposed to combine private sector efficiency with rent dissipation brought about by competition. Yet something did not go quite right, as concessions were plagued with opportunistic renegotiations, most of them at the expense of taxpayers. Granting and Renegotiating Infrastructure Concessions is a major contribution toward understanding what went wrong and what should be done differently in the future to reap the...

ISBN: 9780821361627 / Angielski / Miękka / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Much of East Asia continues to grow rapidly, driven to a considerable extent by China. Urbanization is proceeding at pace. Demand for infrastructure services is increasing massively, particularly in cities. Much of the demand comes from the newly urbanized poor. Infrastructure has to meet their needs, but has also to continue to provide the underpinnings for the region's growth. The complexity of responding to these demands is greater than ever, and the cost of getting things wrong very high. Poorly conceived infrastructure investments today would have a huge environmental, economic, and...

The Niger River Basin: A Vision for Sustainable Management
ISBN: 9780821362037 / Angielski / Miękka / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Niger River Basin, home to 100 million people, is a vital yet complex asset for West and Central Africa. It is the continent's third largest river basin, traversing nine countries Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Chad, Cote d'Ivoire, Guinea, Mali, Niger, and Nigeria. The River embodies both these nations' livelihoods and their geopolitics. It is not simply water but rather an origin of identity, a route for migration and commerce, a source of conflict, and a catalyst for cooperation. Cooperation among decision-makers and users is crucial to address the threats to water resources. The Niger...

Managing the Politics of Reform: Overhauling the Legal Infrastructure of Public Procurement in the Philippines
ISBN: 9780821364352 / Angielski / Miękka / 62 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Over the past 30 years there has been considerable research on the political economy of reform. Yet despite this, little is known about strategies for managing the politics of change--moving from a bad to a better equilibrium. Part of the challenge of studying this issue stems from the difficulty of obtaining detailed, so-called 'blow-by-blow' information on actual reform processes. From this type of information, one can discern and cull practical lessons on strategy, which by its very nature is about dealing with political barriers or problems as they crop up during the implementation...

Handbook for Evaluating Infrastructure Regulatory Systems
ISBN: 9780821365793 / Angielski / Miękka / 420 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Around the world, governments perform three main functions: they tax, they spend, and they regulate. And of those three functions, regulation is the least understood.

This handbook provides a road map for evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of an existing system--a map that could lead to a shared understanding of...

Infrastructure in Latin America and the Caribbean: Recent Developments and Key Challenges
ISBN: 9780821366769 / Angielski / Miękka / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book reviews Latin America's experience with infrastructure reform over the last fifteen years. It argues that the region's infrastructure has suffered from public retrenchment and unrealistic expectations about private involvement. Poor infrastructure now hampers productivity, growth, and poverty reduction. Addressing this requires more and better spending, and acceptance that governments remain central to infrastructure provision and supervision, although the private sector still has an important role to play.
