Privatization and Regulation of Transport Infrastructure
The 1990s saw an increase in the liberalisation of transport policies and a strengthening of the role of private operators and investors in transport infrastructure worldwide. The search for sustained improvement in efficiency is probably secondary to the need to find additional financing, but it is improvement in services that is at the core of the new role of the government in transport. Governments must now become fair economic regulators of many of the privately operated transport services and infrastructures. This book examines the major challenges that governments are likely to face in taking on their new role in transport.
TEMA
The Nordic periodical Retfaerd (Justice) is a legal, peer-reviewed, jurisprudential journal that provides theoretical and practical analyses of law, while at the same time drawing on other sciences such as sociology, political science, philosophy, and economics. The published articles - examining law in a broad context - contribute to a continuous development of critical jurisprudence. With an emphasis on the Nordic readership, Retfaerd's articles are primarily written in Danish, Norwegian, or Swedish. However, in this special issue, four of the journal's seven articles are written in English. The essays in Integrating Energy and Climate Security in Law and Policy includes the following English language contributions: Energy Security vs. Food Security: Comparing Brazil, Indonesia, and Tanzania; Integrating Climate Change Adaptation into the Law; Climate Change and Energy Policy in the European Union's Outermost Regions: The Case of the Canary Islands; Challenges and Opportunities for Marine Deposits of Methane Hydrate in the Circum-Arctic Polar Region.
Alternative Frameworks for Providing Financial Services
The behavior of actors in financial systems depends crucially on the incentives that motivate them. The right regulation, supervision, and incentives (including the scope of permissible activities, degree of contestability, and extent of safety net) for financial services can make the sector more resilient in the face of adverse shocks.
Financial Liberalization and the Capital Account
Thailand's economic crisis in 1997 was fundamentally one of private sector debt, rooted in private behavior that affected the magnitude and composition of investment and how it was financed. Thailand's crisis provides further evidence that financial liberalization must be carefully managed because, by increasing competition, it lowers the franchise value of existing financial institutions and creates incentives for unsound banking practices.
Fundamentals of Air Transport Management
The rapid growth of the aviation industry, propelled by catalysts like Liberalization, Privatization and Globalization has in recent years given a major fillip to the global economy in terms of facilitating international trade, generating employment, foreign exchange earnings, and prosperity from tourism, industrial growth and technological development. The potential market for air transport has shown signs of a strong global resurgence, with the Asia Pacific region's performance far exceeding the world average growth&.with India and China being projected as the hottest growth sectors.The Indian aviation industry has shown impressive growth, contributing 1.0%, 8.0% and 69% share at the globa...
Districts, Spillovers, and Government Overspending
Take an average city, keep its population and other characteristics constant, but divide it into a greater number of political districts, and you will get substantially greater government spending per capita. Install a strong mayor form of city government, give the mayor veto power, and you may curtail the legislature's bias toward overspending.
Financial Services and the World Trade Organization
It is difficult to design and implement an effective safety net for banks, because overgenerous protection of banks may introduce a risk-enhancing moral hazard and destabilize the very system it is meant to protect. The safety net that policymakers design must provide the right mix of market and regulatyory discipline, enough to protect depositors without unduly undermining market discipline on banks.
