A comparative examination of the effects of different constitutional and legal traditions on privatization. The authors focus on the UK and France, suggesting that the British Government was remarkably free from limitation, whereas the French were constrained by their written constitution.
`The originality of this work is in its use of comparative law to analyse an economic issue ... will interest three categories of readers, notably economists, constitutionalists and political scientists.' International Review of Administrative Sciences

'This book is an important contribution to the growing research on the role of government in designing regulatory instruments and schemes that foster competition. It is expected that this volume will be a much-referred to source of information and authority ... Graham and Prosser's book is bound to raise as many important questions as it answers. The book is a valuable contribution to a vitally important debate on the economic regulation of privatized companies.' Joseph McCahery, University of Warwick, Common Market Law Review, 320, 1993
