Review

`The reader is aided by an introduction summarising arguments made in the lectures and a useful index. That the speaker or commentator is a senior official from a regulatory or enforcement authority makes the volume of considerable value to practitioners, policymakers, and academics involved in regulatory reform as it provides an up-to-date review of the major issues, not only indicating current regulatory practice but also its future trajectory.' -- Okeoghene Odudu, World Competition `. . . a treasure trove of valuable insight and commentary into the utility markets and how they are, and should be, regulated.' -- European Competition Law Review
