| description |
The case studies focus on specific
attempts made by a number of small states to overcome the
handicaps of their size and isolation and take advantage of
growing opportunities for integration with their neighbors
and with the rest of the world. Two policy issues have been
of prime importance in that effort: how to reduce the costs
and increase the effectiveness of public goods and services,
and how to improve, and reduce the costs of, connectivity
with the rest of the world. This study takes a different
tack. It focuses on two policy areas: (a) the use of
outsourcing of government functions as a means of reducing
the costs and improving the quality of some public goods and
services; and (b) policies, institutions, and regulations
designed to harness the power of information and
telecommunications technology (ICT) to reduce the costs and
improve the quality of connectivity with the rest of the world. |
