Leapfrogging Development?: the Political Economy of Telecommunications Restructuring (Suny Series in Global Politics) J. P. Singh

Telecommunications restructurings are now seen as important barometers in the shift among developing countries toward market-based economies. They are often posited as helping developing countries leapfrog, or accelerate their pace of development, and connect with the world economy. This book shows that most states in developing countries are unable to resolve the myriad pressures they face in restructuring important sectors like telecommunications to effect accelerated or leapfrogging development.
