Abstract

Privatization in the Philippines has gained legitimacy in the light of two factors: 1) the inefficiencies and politicization of state-owned enterprises and 2) the perennial problem of low revenues and growing spending. However, privatization is also being advanced as part of an ideological offensive to reduce the size and scope of government. This paper raises the privatization level of principle in a quite distinct view of treating privatization as a policy instrument. It addresses contextual issues relating to efficiency, public revenue, and social welfare. But it is also a truism that privatization is not a panacea. It concludes that dogmatic view that the state and parastatals are inherently inefficient.

菲律宾的私有化和政府改革
菲律宾的私有化在两个因素下获得了合法性:1)国有企业的低效率和政治化;2)长期存在的低收入和不断增长的支出问题。然而,私有化也正在推进,作为缩小政府规模和范围的意识形态攻势的一部分。本文以一种将私有化作为一种政策工具的独特观点提出了私有化的原则层次。它解决了与效率、公共收入和社会福利有关的背景问题。但私有化不是万灵药,这也是不言自明的。它总结了国家和半国有企业本质上效率低下的教条观点。
