Abstract

Our research purports to analyze the field of local public services in Italy, focusing in particular on the aspects of strategic and economic development, in the context of the main steps towards privatization and liberalization. In recent years modalities of competition on the market and for the market have been introduced in this sector. Although the theoretical principles were universally agreed upon, the concrete modalities to achieve such aims did not prove always suitable and this caused a diffused tendency towards a return to a public dimension for some services, or however a decrease in the liberalizing trend. Moreover, the latest reform law proposed by the Italian government leaves unresolved some critical aspects for the management of public services. This research aims at understanding how these and other important issues affect the re-definition of the structure of the sector and the level of attraction for potential investors in order to balance the competitive relationships inside the sector.
