| | The Meaning of Privatization |
| | And it is a critical question whether moving from public to private in the sense of state to non-state entails a movement in the other senses: from open to closed (in access to information) or from the whole to the part (particularly in the distribution of benefits). | | | On the one hand, private interests reach into the conduct of the state and its agencies; on the other, the state reaches across the public-private boundary to regulate private contracts and the conduct of private corporations and other associations. | | | In the United States, the difference between public and private schools is not the same as the difference between public and private television broadcasting. |
