Intersections With Attachment

Exploring the thorny issues of industrial organisation, competition policy and liberalization in the Asia-Pacific region, this book examines the ways in which governments regulate business. Using case studies from China, the USA, New Zealand, Thailand, Malaysia and Japan, the authors take a comparative look at the evolution of policies and their implementation on the ground. With a specific focus on the energy, transport and telecommuncations sectors, this book represents the most up-to-date analysis of the ways in which governments in the Asia-Pacific are coping with rapid industrial and economic change.

"...the chapters form an integrated and coherent volume....In an excellent chapter, Fox and Davidson examine infants' distress responses to maternal separations....This is an edited book of high quality....I would, however, strongly recommend it to researchers and scholars who have a serious interest in attachment."
