The reform of natural monopolies

Article Abstract:

This article discusses the issue of reforming Russia's natural resource monopolies, and reveals a shift away from the academic thinking of the early reform era. The authors examine the three most important such monoplies in Russia: the natural gas giant Gazprom, RAO EES which controls the electrical system, and the Ministry of Railways; a negative appraisal of similar efforts to break of monoplies in the coal industry result in a pessimistic conclusion for radical reforms aimed at breaking up and privatizing these economic actors.
