This diploma thesis examines the privatisation of public services, analysing its effects on the quality and efficiency of services in Slovenia, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Poland. The main problem of the thesis is how privatisation affects public services and whether it actually contributes to improving their efficiency. The research aims to examine the reasons for privatisation, evaluate its positive and negative effects and provide an overview of privatisation systems in the selected countries.
Qualitative methods were used in the research, including a literature review and a comparative analysis of privatisation cases in the countries mentioned above. Data was obtained from various sources such as expert research, academic articles, reports, and case studies.
The results of the research show that privatisation can bring improvements in service efficiency and cost reductions, but it also brings risks such as reduced transparency and accountability and, in some cases, social inequalities.
The thesis findings are important for policy makers and researchers as they offer insights into the different approaches and effects of privatisation, which can help to understand the complexity of privatisation and how its success depends on its historical, social, and political effects. The results are useful for both the public sector and the wider societal environment, as they underline the need for careful planning and monitoring of privatisation processes.
