{"product_id":"the-limits-of-institutional-reform-matt-andrews-9781107016330","title":"The Limits of Institutional Reform in Development: Changing Rules for Realistic Solutions","description":"This book explains why many institutional reforms in developing countries have limited success and suggests ways to overcome these limits. The author argues that reforms often fail to make governments better because they are introduced as signals to gain short-term support. These signals introduce unrealistic best practices that do not fit developing country contexts and are not considered relevant by implementing agents. The result is a set of new forms that do not function. However, there are realistic solutions emerging from institutional reforms in some developing countries. Lessons from these experiences suggest that reform limits, although challenging to adopt, can be overcome by focusing change on problem solving through an incremental process that involves multiple agents.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matt Andrews\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1107016339\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107016330\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/11\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 0.80d","brand":"Matt Andrews","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44522390356223,"sku":"9781107016330","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f2376238-c074-4003-87a0-c568c4d3bdaa.jpg?v=1700157025","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-limits-of-institutional-reform-matt-andrews-9781107016330","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
