This book is based on the work of the Privatization Task Force of the Ini-
tiative for Policy Dialogue (IPD). IPD is a global network of over 200
economists, researchers, and practitioners committed to furthering un-
derstanding of the development pro cess. We would like to thank all task
force members, whose participation in provocative and productive dia-
logues and debates on privatization informed the content of this book.
Special thanks goes to Shari Spiegel, who served as Executive Director
of IPD during the course of this project.
We would also like to thank IPD staff members Sheila Chanani, Sarah
Green, Siddhartha Gupta, Ariel Schwartz, Lauren Anderson, Shana Hoft-
setter, and Sylvia Wu for their work or ga niz ing task force meetings and
coordinating production of this book. Thanks also to IPD interns Vital
Bord and James Giganti for their help in preparing the book.
We thank our editor, Myles Thompson, and the staff of Columbia
University Press for bringing this book into publication.
Finally, we are most grateful to the Ford Foundation and the John D.
and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation for funding the work of the
Privatization Task Force and supporting IPD activities.
