WALLIN, Bruce A
The need for a privatization process : lessons from development and implementation - Malden, MA : Blackwell Publishers, jan./feb.1997
The decision to privatize state services is often a controversial one. What are the pitfalls commonly encountered, and how can a state avoid them? In Massachusetts, a healthy clash of interests between a republican governor eager to privatize and democratic legislature responsive to state employees provides important lessons. Bruce Wallin finds that many mistakes, of noth a political and policy nature, were made by an administrative crusade. The legislative response, a bill regulating privatization, suggests that it is best to establish a decision-making process for privatization that is well specified, inclusive, and ideally has some independent check on the decisions.
