Especially, it focuses on the background, reasons, methods, and effects of the privatization of publicly owned city gas utilities in Japan. In Japan, after the Great East Japan Earthquake, the liberalization of the electric power and gas business has progressed rapidly. There are a number of studies on the reform of Japan's electricity market, but there are few studies on city gas business. This book describes the state of Japan's public city gas utilities and the necessity of their privatization. And it explains the role of concession as a method of privatization. Then it verifies that the effects of past privatization cases are insufficient. The book also covers deregulation of public utilities in Europe, which triggered Japan's liberalization of its energy and other public utility sectors, and privatization of electricity and gas businesses in India, a developing country in Asia. Finally, this book explores future regulation and business of city gas industry. Pipeline network should be regulated to comply with future unbundling starting from 2022, and gas business altogether with electricity and water businesses need more digitization. 001432777 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed February 4, 2021). 001432777 650_0 $$aGas companies$$zJapan. 001432777 650_0 $$aGas companies$$xPrivatization$$zJapan. 001432777 650_0 $$aPublic utilities$$zJapan. 001432777 650_0 $$aPublic utilities$$xPrivatization$$zJapan. 001432777 650_6 $$aSociétés de gaz$$zJapon. 001432777 650_6 $$aSociétés de gaz$$xPrivatisation$$zJapon. 001432777 650_6 $$aServices publics$$zJapon. 001432777 650_6 $$aServices publics$$xPrivatisation$$zJapon. 001432777 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001432777 7001_ $$aKusanagi, Shinichi,$$eeditor. 001432777 7001_ $$aYanagawa, Takashi,$$eeditor. 001432777 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9789811584060 001432777 830_0 $$aKobe University monograph series in social science research. 001432777 852__ $$bebk 001432777 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-15-8407-7$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001432777 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1432777$$pGLOBAL_SET 001432777 980__ $$aBIB 001432777 980__ $$aEBOOK 001432777 982__ $$aEbook 001432777 983__ $$aOnline 001432777 994__ $$a92$$bISE
