“…Though belated, these reforms generated great expectations and, between 1993 and 2000, the worldwide 'race' for FDI was dominated by investment in telecommunications and energy utilities. Nearly two-thirds of world FDI during this period took place within the EU, and the utilities sectors were responsible for nearly three-quarters of privatization proceeds (Clifton, Comín, and Díaz-Fuentes, 2003). As Thus, the Commission has been active in reversing "golden shares," rejecting or diluting national government's lists of "strategic industries," and enforcing the free movement of capital both within the EU and with regard to third countries.…”

“…Relationships between European states and public enterprises have changed dramatically since the 1970s, with a significant decrease in public ownership as an instrument for public intervention (Clifton et al 2003). Scholars have identified this change with a trend away from a “positive” to a “regulatory state”, the latter focused on the correction of market-failures through technical expertise and economic regulation (Majone 1997).…”

Changes in the regulatory state, the privatization of network industries in Europe and in air transport have led to a redefinition of how airports are regulated. The French model of state ownership and regulation of airports became progressively out of step with a broader European market-oriented frame of reference. A new French sectoral frame of reference was developed and became public policy in 2005. A cognitive analysis identifies the key factors and actors responsible for this shift. This article explores the nature of the changes made to adapt the French model to a European framework and examines the influence of foreign models of regulation on the design of the French model. Finally, it suggests that features of the European frame of reference for regulatory structures have been adapted within France.

In the 1940s, when the governor of Puerto Rico was still appointed by the U.S. president, a large state-owned enterprise (SOE) sector was established. Later, in 1948Later, in -1950, the island's first elected government privatised these SOEs. This paper documents both the creation of the SOE sector and its privatisation, and analyses the role played by ideology, political interests and economic concerns in the decision to privatise. Whereas ideological factors might have played a significant role in the building of the SOE sector, the privatisation process was driven by economic factors. In the cement sector, the competing private firm was more efficient and the SOEs in other sectors with no private competitors in the island showed permanent losses.
