Industry Reviews
'Privatising Old-Age Security is a fine example of contemporary political economy. Its theoretical perspective is equally sensitive to political and economic factors, and the cases are researched in uncommon depth. Its comparison of Eastern Europe and Latin America is unique in the literature on pension reform but obviously important. It will stand as a landmark example of sophisticated policy analysis.' -- Barry Ames, University of Pittsburgh, US
'This book follows the reform of pension systems in eight countries. All cases were slightly different but, despite substantial differences in starting points and political conditions, there was a surprisingly high degree of similarity in a common trend towards partial privatisation. The author does not discuss whether such reforms could lead to better pension systems. That issue appears to have been of little relevance to their adoption. Instead, she focuses on factors that did influence the political processes in the countries concerned. The result is an important contribution towards an understanding of policy transfer in different institutional settings. It is an excellent example of the power of the comparative approach for examining how far the World Bank and other international financial institutions can persuade governments to accept their thinking.' -- Martin Myant, University of Paisley, UK
'Katharina Mueller opens our eyes to the political and economic forces at work in the privatization of pension schemes, casting light on processes that were previously obscure.' -- Elaine Fultz, International Labour Office, Budapest, Hungary
