Taming Regulation: Superfund and the Challenge of Regulatory Reform
ISBN: 9780815759430 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Despite three decade of vigorous efforts at deregulation across all levels of government, regulation remains ubiquitous. It is disliked because it is unavoidably coercive: it forces individuals and businesses to do things - frequently costly and unpleasant things - that they don't want to. But few would argue that modern government can do without some recourse to the stick, irrespective of the popular appeal of the carrot. If regulatory programmes are to survive and remain effective, a central challenge is their endemic unpopularity and the political vulnerability that follows from it. the...

Regulation in the States
ISBN: 9780815783138 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Deregulation continues to be a fiercely debated issue in the US. The proper role and amount of government intervention or oversight is constant fodder for politicians, analysts and talk radio, and the anti-regulation movement within the federal government formed in the 1970s. While that debate rages, however, regulation at the state level remains below the radar screen, yet it is a crucial part of the picture. Some states are even countering the federal trend by supplementing their own regulatory efforts. Thus the push toward devolution of powers may actually be helping states strengthen...

Under New Ownership: Privatizing China's State-Owned Enterprises
ISBN: 9780821356241 / Angielski / Miękka / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Although China's centrally planned economy is a little more than a shadow of its former self, the closely inter-linked reforms of the enterprise and banking sectors are still incomplete. The relative size of the state-owned enterprise sector has been much reduced, however, the sector remains the dominant borrower from the banking system and is responsible for the majority of bank non-performing assets. Thus in the interests of financial stability it is crucial to implement the remaining reform agenda. The accession to the WTO has also made it more urgent for China's most-dynamic state-owned...
