Abstract

ABSTRACT Re-municipalization is part of a broader set of reverse privatization reforms. We argue the term re-municipalization lacks conceptual clarity, confusing municipal level reversals from national ones, new service delivery from reversals, and mixed market positions from full public control. This conceptual confusion makes measurement of re-municipalization difficult. While more case studies are being discovered, quantitative time series studies do not show remunicipalization is increasing. Much case study based research argues remunicipalization is politically transformative, but quantitative research generally finds re-municipalization to be part of a pragmatic market management process, a position confirmed by the papers in this special issue.

公共服务再市民化:趋势还是炒作?

摘要重新市政化是一系列反向私有化改革的一部分。我们认为，“重新市政化”一词缺乏概念上的清晰性，混淆了市政层面的逆转与国家层面的逆转、逆转带来的新服务提供，以及完全公共控制带来的混合市场地位。这种概念上的混乱使得重新市政化的测量变得困难。虽然越来越多的案例研究正在被发现，但定量时间序列研究并没有表明重新市政化正在增加。许多基于案例研究的研究认为，重新市政化在政治上具有变革性，但定量研究通常认为重新市政化是务实的市场管理过程的一部分，这一立场在本期特刊的论文中得到了证实。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Economic Policy Reform focuses on the analysis of economic policy reform. The journal draws upon what lessons can be learned from the successes and failures of countries undertaking reforms and how existing theories can be developed to shed light on positive as well as normative aspects of the reform process. The Journal of Economic Policy Reform encourages work from economists and political economy analysts on policies to promote growth and reduce poverty, intellectual property rights, aid versus trade, debt and debt relief, taxation and social security systems, surveys of key reform issues, as well as on corruption, democracy, emerging markets and the role of multilateral institutions.
