1. INTRODUCTION
The issue of State owned enterprises, or Public enterprises, versus Privatised enterprises have been topic of controversy in the economic development in developing in past decades. According to Van de Walle (1989, p. 601), privatization can be defined as “a transfer of ownership and control from the public to the private sector, with particular reference to asset sales”1. In the analysis of whether there has been an increase in efficiency of privatization of State owned enterprises in developing nations a distinction must be made between the effects of privatization and liberalization; however the economic reform often goes hand-in-hand with each other. According to Van de Walle (1989, p. 601), liberalization can be defined as “a change in the relative prices operating in the economy”2. A board generalization can be made that most current developing nations are nations that have gained independence from colonial rule in the past 150 years. Nellis and Kikeri (1989) proposed that those nations that gained independence from colonial rule tended to inherit a public enterprise sector. This resulted in established and, relative to the rest of the nation, technologically advantaged pivotal industries that were commonly developed through direct colonial investment and exploitation of the indigenous pollution. An example of this would be the South African Post Office, which would later spawn the telecommunications giant Telkom, which was established during the British colonial rule of South Africa. In developed nations, such as those in Europe, the expansion of public enterprises came as a result of increased socialization and nationalization after World War II. This was supported until the 1980’s as there was a tendency...

In the role of government, the public sector is the sole actor of implementing a strategy. But as the limits of public intervention were recognised and accepted, state action turned to governance. In this mode, the state recognise that more stakeholder must be involved in the formulation and implementation of strategies and this involve the private sector as well as citizens. This shift was also brought because of the private sector has the financial recourses that the public sector has not anymore (Rydin, 2013, p.3-5).

Privatization of governmental functions has a direct relationship with the number of contract employees in government and an inverse relationship with the number of civil servants. As privatization has become more acceptable, contract employees are being hired to do the jobs, thus, replacing civil servants.

The topic that I have selected for my chapter evaluation essay is that of “Economic Development”. This paragraph above is the best summary of the chapter’s contents. In this chapter the author discusses the influence of development on the three worlds of countries. These worlds are benchmarks set to assess countries economic states relative to each other.

Economic growth is the most effective instrument for reducing poverty and enhancing the quality of life in developing countries. The benefits brought about from economic growth is strong growth and business opportunities enhance incentives. This may lead to the rise of a strong and growing group of entrepreneurs, which should generate pressure for enhanced administration. Strong economic growth therefore advances human development, which in turn promotes economic growth. But, under different conditions, comparative rates of development can have altogether different consequences for neediness, the occupation prospects of poor people and more extensive pointers of human development. The extent to which growth decreases neediness depends on the extent to which the poor take an interest in the growth process and share in its returns (Riley, G.
