Abstract

[The previous chapter revealed some of the discursive and material processes through which the partial privatisation of BWB became ‘inevitable’. By exploring policy-making in 1990s Berlin with reference to the global city policy discourse, the aim was to get beyond a simplified account of how and why the privatisation decision was made. The purpose of this chapter is to get beyond more official accounts of the BWB privatisation. This time the focus is on how the privatisation, having been agreed, was implemented. The aim is to assess how the political system in Berlin functioned; to understand how a controversial and complicated piece of legislation was passed.]
