Case-by-Case Privatization in the Russian Federation. Lessons from International Experience

This monograph contains the proceedings of a high-level workshop on "International Experience in Case-by-Case Privatization: Lessons for the Russian Federation" that was held in ST.Petersburg, Russia in July 1997. Against the backdrop of Russia's mass voucher privatization initiative in 1993-94 and the more recent controversial "loans-for-shares" program, the workshop took place soon after the Russian authorities announced that a case-by-case privatization program would start.
