From Tanzania and Nepal to Iraq and Ukraine, voters actually want MPs who can find informal fixes, and a reciprocal logic holds the system in place. But this also means that weak institutions tend to stay weak. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCombining insights from behavioral economics, change management and comparative politics, this fascinating book argues for a different approach to political reform, one concerned less with institutional design and more with the existing logic of human behavior. One that starts inside the political mind, and works outwards from there.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Greg Power\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0197784194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780197784198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.40w x 1.50d","brand":"Greg Power","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45482834231551,"sku":"9780197784198","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a790d290-ff7a-46a3-bc3b-ebc6f001a2c4.jpg?v=1715999622","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/inside-the-political-mind-greg-power-9780197784198","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
