Pervasiveness and efficacy in regulatory governance – neo-liberalism as ideology and practice in European telecommunications reorganisation (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Simpson, S. (2008, June). Pervasiveness and efficacy in regulatory governance – neo-liberalism as ideology and practice in European telecommunications reorganisation. Presented at European Consortium for Political Research Standing Group on Regulatory Governance Second Biennial Conference, ‘(Re)Regulation in the Wake of Neoliberalism. Consequences of Three Decades of Privatization and Market Liberalization’, Utrecht, Netherlands

Telecommunications provides one of the most well-developed examples of the growth
of neo-liberalism. The sector is interesting since the contrast between its pre neoliberal
and post neo-liberal characteristics is particularly stark. This paper expl... Read More about Pervasiveness and efficacy in regulatory governance – neo-liberalism as ideology and practice in European telecommunications reorganisation.
