McCormick & Michanick: The Transformation of Intergovernmental Satellite Organisations: Policy and Legal Perspectives

Patricia K. McCormick (Wayne State Univ. - Communication)) & Maury Mechanick (White & Case LLP) have published The Transformation of Intergovernmental Satellite Organisations: Policy and Legal Perspectives (Martinus Nijhoff Publishers 2013). The table of contents is here. Here's the abstract:
The Transformation of Intergovernmental Satellite Organisations: Policy and Legal Perspectives offers a multifaceted analysis of the complex policy and legal issues associated with the privatisation or restructuring of the world’s preeminent intergovernmental satellite organisations, INTELSAT, INMARSAT and EUTELSAT. Maury Mechanick, Christian Roisse, and David Sagar, each of whom were directly involved in these undertakings, provide a unique perspective on the critical issues involved, while Frans von der Dunk and Patricia McCormick offer a broader contextual assessment of their significance. The contributors’ insights regarding the restructuring of these satellite organisations and the intergovernmental organisations which oversee public services represent valuable reflections on those developments, as well as on changes occurring following privatisation regarding those entities’ ownership profiles and service provisions.
