Abstract

The previous chapters of Part II examined in detail the way liberalisation and privatisation were introduced in a number of sectors across Europe. The sectors reviewed include: (1) industry in general and the network industries, in particular; (2) two major public services sectors, health care and education, with special emphasis on tertiary education; (3) pensions, as part of the social security sector; (4) and the banking sector. Although the approach is not uniform across the various chapters, the aim of these reviews is to highlight the main processes via which liberalisation and privatisation changed the post-World War II paradigm, from one of strong state presence and intervention to one of steadily increasing dominance by the private sector. Indeed, it may be argued that the past thirty years, over which this transformation occurred, constitute a ‘transformative period’, that is, one during which a shift in the prevalent paradigm took place.
