The promotion of liberalised and deregulated markets by bilateral and multilateral aid donors, and by global institutions such as the World Trade Organisations, has led to significant attention to competition and regulation reforms in developing economies. This book draws together contributions from specialist ranging across diferent disciplines and types of economy, in order to examine both ideas and current practices in this field, including country and and sector case studies. The book presents a clear agenda for further empirical studies, and will make a valuable contribution to the literature on economic development.
