Privatisation and deregulation was chosen as the topic of the annual Canada-UK Colloquium which was held in Scotland in 1987. Most of the papers presented here have been updated since that meeting. These papers discuss the Canadian and British privatisation programs. Also covered are telecommunications; transport; financial services; contracting-out; and problems and prospects with one article given for each country.

The volume comprises an editors' introduction, eight case studies and an overview of recent developments in three provinces.

Begun as a social experiment in 1937, Air Canada has evolved into one of the world’s greatest airlines. Air Canada: The History explores a modern miracle that has made commercial air travel in our country an everyday occurrence. The airline was born in 1937 as "Trans Canada Airlines," a ward of the Canadian National Railway. Renamed "Air Canada" in 1964 to reflect its status as a jet-age airline, it survived devastating air crashes, financial deficits, self-serving politicians, strikes, privatization, and the Airbus scandal. It was reviled in the nineties by the likes of Peter Newman, who joked, "If God had meant Man to fly, he wouldn’t have invented Air Canada." Today it is a much loved national icon. Fortunate at times to be run by great CEOs like Gordon McGregor and Claude Taylor, Air Canada has fought off a hostile takeover, merged with its arch-rival Canadian Airlines, and touched countless lives during its 75-year history. This is its story.

No Canadian company today holds a higher profile than Air Canada; few CEOs possess the recognition factor of its chief, Robert Milton. But in 2003, their notoriety is for all the wrong reasons: in less than four years under Milton's command, Air Canada has gone from unrivalled industry giant to a wounded behemoth seeking bankruptcy protection. Was it mismanagement, government interference, a radically changed global environment, or just plain bad luck that brought down Canada's national flag carrier? Air Monopoly answers the question with a penetrating examination of a glamorous, high-risk business that attracts more than its share of dreamers and egotists. Milton, a life-long aviation enthusiast, took the controls at Air Canada at age thirty-nine in 1999. Within weeks he was battling a hostile takeover bid by investor Gerry Schwartz who intended to merge Air Canada with its chief competitor, Canadian Airlines. After a legal, political, and public-relations free-for-all, it was Milton who took over Canadian, then merged the two into a cumbersome monopoly that left cabinet ministers uneasy, consumers fuming, and ambitious small competitors eager to challenge Air Canada's supremacy. Four scrappy upstarts would disappear in the attempt to wrest market share from a dominant carrier prepared to engage in cutthroat tactics against any competition. When a fifth - WestJet - started to make real gains, Milton diversified his brand in an attempt to be all things to all travellers. Then came a global economic downturn, the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, andwars in Afghanistan and Iraq, events that altered the aviation industry forever. Milton managed Air Canada through its most serious operational crisis ever, but since then questionable decisions, bad timing, and hubris have sent Air Canada into a tailspin, threatening its very existence.

The author addresses what he sees as an imbalance in a literature strongly oriented toward the language of privatization. He suggests the definitions of "business" have too often been confused with concepts of "enterprise"--That motivations for public enterprise may well go far beyond the profit motive. He argues that the motivation of public enterprise may be to provide the best possible service at cost, be competitive, excel as an enterprise, innovate, grow, thrive, and contend.

From schools to hospitals, from utilities to food banks, over the past thirty years corporatization has transformed the public sector in Canada. Economic elites take control of public institutions and use business metrics to evaluate their performance, transforming public programs into corporate revenue streams. Senior managers use corporate methodology to set priorities in social services and create "market-friendly" public sector cultures. Even social activist organizations increasingly look and act like multinational corporations while non-governmental organizations pursue partnerships with the same corporations they ostensibly oppose. Corporatizing Canada critically examines how corporatization has been implemented in different ways across the Canadian public sector and warns us of the threat that neoliberal corporatization poses to democratic decision-making and the public at large.

The book is divided into three major sections. The first presents a theoretical discussion that underlies the other essays. The second section deals with privatization issues from the perspective of the United States. The third describes research addressed to the U. K. and Canada. In the first chapter, Richard Zeckbauser and Murray Horn develop a wide-ranging theoretical framework for assessing the capabilities and role of state-owned enterprises; it provides a foundation for the analyses that follow. In The Control and Perfonnance o[ State-Owned Enterprises , they describe state-owned enterprises as an extreme case of the separation of ownership and control. The focus is on management --the incentives it faces and the conflicts to which it is subjected. The distinguishing characteristics of public enterprise, the authors suggest, give it a comparative advantage over both public bureaucracy and private enterprise in certain situations. They argue that legislators are more likely to prefer SOEs over private enterprise when the efficiency of private enterprise is undermined by regulation or the tbreat of opportunistic state action, when the informational demands of subsidizing private production to meet distributional objectives are high, when it is difficult to assign property rights, or when state ownership is ideologically appealing. These considerations suggest why SOEs are usually assigned special rights and responsibilities, and they help explain observed regularities in the distribution of SOEs across countries and sectors. Zeckhauser and Horn apply principal-agent theory to identify the key factors underlying the performance of state-owned enterprises.
