by Malcolm Abbott, Bruce Cohen
EPUB
Description
Utilities Reform in 21st Century Australia: Providing the Essentials traces the development and consequences of the economic reform measures undertaken in the utilities sector in Australia (communications, energy, water/wastewater services, and transport) in the last years of the 20th century, and early decades of the 21st century.
In doing so, it looks at the process of reform across industries, and across the state and federal jurisdictions, to identifywhat motivations the various governments had for pursing reform, how change varied across jurisdictions, and what issues arose in the process.
Although by the mid-1990s all states and territories and the Australian Government were committed to reforming utilities as part of the National Competition Policy, notall pursued this reform with the same degree of speed and breadth of action.
The broad trends of economic reform in Australia, and abroad, are also touched upon, to provide an outline of the wider context in which the reform of the utilities occurred.
This book, therefore, explores the relationship between politics and society on the one hand and economic reform on the other; as well on as the efforts of governments in Australia to promote economic growth and the wealth of Australians in anincreasingly complex and challenging global economic climate.
