Political Economy of Reform Failure

Economists have moved in recent years beyond analyzing the manner in which the macroeconomies of different countries function and prescribing appropriate policies for dealing with domestic and external imbalances. Increasingly, they have sought to understand the complex interaction between political and economic phenomena. The Political Economy of Reform failure considers issues of economic reform in a broad range of settings: developed, transition and developing countries. Using country specific cases this book focuses on those territories which have encountered problems reforming, allowing the reader to gain an accurate understanding of the factors that inhibit the success of economic reform, the different context in which economic reform is attempted and the different challenges that individual countries face. The Political Economy of Reform Failure uses case studies which are often difficult to find such as Uzbekistan, Burma or Haiti. An international team of contributors including Bo Södersten, Deepak Lal and Ron Findlay have been brought together to analyze these issues.Wyzan, Michael L. is the author of 'Political Economy of Reform Failure', published 2005 under ISBN 9780415362443 and ISBN 041536244X.
