The Politics of Telecommunications: National Institutions, Convergences, and Change in Britain and France

Autor Mark Thatcher
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 ian 2000
This book confronts some of the most important questions related to liberalization, regulation, and the role of the nation state in an increasingly international economy. In the face of powerful transitional pressures for change, to what extent are states able to maintain stable institutional frameworks? Do different domestic structures generate dissimilar patterns of policy-making and economic performance? How important are past institutional choices to subsequent reform? The author addresses these questions through a study of the transformations of a strategic economic sector, telecommunications, in Britain and France over the past three decades. It analyses the theoretical strengths and weaknesses of various models of public policy formation and, the role and reform of national institutions and the continuing role of the nation state.

Recenzii

Excellent and rigorously researched study ... Thatcher's penetrating analysis stresses the limitations, as well as the strengths, of the institutionalist approach ... will be of considerable value to comparative political scientists in general and to analysts of public policy and political economy in particular.
Without recourse to case law or social science jargon, this book will be of interest to political scientists and policy makers, as well as be a rich source of material for anyone attempting to gain a clear and intellectually sound understanding of the causes and dramatic changes that have taken place in recent European telecommunications provisioning history.
The Politics of Telecommunications should find a wide readership among those interested in politics, public administration or telecommunications policy design.
Thatcher's empirical approach, in conjunction with appropriate theory, will help policy-makers to tailor institutional mechanisms to the circumstances of each sector.
This study is characterised foremostly by profound empirical richness and methodological rigour. These two major qualities make this the most complete analysis to date.
