Latin America leading the way in second-generation infrastructure reforms worldwide.
Latin American countries have been working on improving infrastructure services for the past two decades. The focus now is on the "second generation of reforms" which aim to build on the initial changes made. These reforms include settling disputes after privatization, ensuring fair access to network industries, and promoting competition in reformed sectors. The authors have looked at how contracts have been adjusted through negotiations and disputes since the start of the reform process. They also suggest practical rules for pricing access to network industries to encourage competition. Overall, the book provides a global view of ongoing reforms in energy markets worldwide.
