    Departamento de Economía



    A través del desarrollo de estas 5 sesiones se examina desde una perspectiva internacional de largo plazo las transformaciones y reformas de los servicios públicos, como la desregulación, liberalización, privatización y desregulación (o re-regulación) supranacional.  A su vez, se revisan los principales aspectos económicos, institucionales, políticos y sociales de su organización, los patrones de provisión y financiación de los servicios públicos, en particular, en el marco de la Unión Europea, pero también en otras regiones y países como América Latina. En estas sesiones se analizan diversos casos de servicios públicos, como los operados en red: comunicaciones, energía, transportes, agua e infraestructuras, y se explorará y evaluarán las innovaciones y las alternativas de políticas públicas que se pueden extender a otros servicios sociales.
