The European Commission and its member states, along with many others, are wrestling with the problem of how to implement the scheduled liberalization of the postal sector while maintaining the universal service obligation. This book addresses some of these concerns. It is comprised of original essays chosen from among several dozen presented at the 13^th Conference on Postal and Delivery Economics, which was held in Antwerp, Belgium, in June, 2005.
