Drawing from theoretical arguments and several case studies, the book is divided into three parts, namely devising regulation, installing regulation, and making regulation work. The first part covers theories of regulation, regulatory policies, strategies and tools, and regulatory reforms. The second part deals with the politics of regulation and regulatory capacity. The third part discusses regulatory commitment and investments, the performance of regulated industries, and the design of regulatory systems. Case studies pay attention to various sectors (including water, electricity, telecommunications, highways, railways, district heating, and airports) from countries in every region of the world.  Alberto Asquer is Lecturer in Public Policy and Management at the School of Finance and Management of SOAS University of London, UK, where he acts as director of the Centre for Financial and Management Studies (CeFiMS) and of the Centre for Water and Development.                                                                 .Studies in the Political Economy of Public Policy,2524-7441Public policyEnergy policyEnergy and stateEnvironmental managementPolitical scienceNatural resourcesComparative politicsPublic Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911060Energy Policy, Economics and Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/112000Water Policy/Water Governance/Water Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/215000Governance and Governmenthttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911220Natural Resourceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U39000Comparative Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911040Public policy.Energy policy.Energy and state.Environmental management.Political science.Natural resources.Comparative politics.Public Policy.Energy Policy, Economics and Management.Water Policy/Water Governance/Water Management.Governance and Government.Natural Resources.Comparative Politics.320.6Asquer Albertoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut594489BOOK9910300515703321Regulation of Infrastructure and Utilities2105530UNINA
