and Liberalization in Developing Countries
By Rangaswamy Vedavalli
A rare and insightful investigation into the energy sector of the developing
world, Energy for Development provides comparative case studies of countries
going through the reform process(China, India, Argentina, Brazil, Egypt, Jordan,
South Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa), evaluates reform experience, discusses the
lessons which can be learned and identifies the challenges at the national and
global level which these developing countries face.
A topical and timely book that seeks to explore the anxiety and insecurities
felt by, and toward the energy sector.

stakeholder interests in global energy policy development and implementation?
