Reforming rules of the development game itself. 330 $aDeveloping countries commonly adopt reforms to improve their governments yet they usually fail to produce more functional and effective governments. Andrews 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. 606 $aInstitution building$zDeveloping countries 606 $aEconomic development$zDeveloping countries 607 $aDeveloping countries$xEconomic conditions 615 0$aInstitution building 615 0$aEconomic development 676 $a338.9009172/4 686 $aBUS068000$2bisacsh 700 $aAndrews$b Matt$f1972-$0929887 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786032103321 996 $aThe limits of institutional reform in development$93750848 997 $aUNINA
