Sommario/riassunto

Using the accountability framework developed by the World Development Report 2004: Making Services Work for Poor People, this book analyzes the low-level equilibrium and the numerous reforms attempted in recent decades in Peru, and, based on this analysis, proposes interventions that would facilitate the creation of a new social contract for Peru.
