Globalisation and EU policy-making

"The last two decades of the twentieth century have witnessed a dramatic transformation of economic organisation across Europe. The creation of liberalised European single markets in the telecommunications and electricity supply sectors out of national monopolies is a spectacular example of this transformation. This book analyses the impact of globalisation on EU policy-making associated with this transformation in terms of the role of technology and markets in the two sectors. This is assessed and contrasted with the role of institutions and ideas." "This book will appeal to scholars and students of globalisation, European integration and policy-making and utilities policy and regulation."--Jacket.
