| Summary: | Regulating infrastructure utilities can
be extremely complex and fraught with risks of political
interference and capture by interest groups, especially in
countries with little tradition of politically independent
government agencies. To deal with these challenges,
policymakers and regulators have sometimes contracted third
parties-such as independent experts and consultants-to
provide advisory or binding input into the administration of
regulatory functions. This Note examines international
experience in this area and explores the key implications
for policymakers. |
