Editorial Reviews

Review

This wide-ranging volume demonstrates
that there is no simple formula for successful institutional development. Through numerous
examples, the book makes clear that development can only be achieved through deliberate
imitation of successful foreign institutions combined with local innovations. The
contributors discuss not only theoretical issues but a diverse range of real-life
institutions -political, bureaucratic, fiscal, financial, corporate, legal, social, and
industrial. The case studies span dozens of countries, from past examples in Britain,
Switzerland, and the United States to present-day institutional development in Botswana,
Brazil, and China. Institutional Change and Economic Development will be of interest to
academics concerned with the economics of the developing world and policymakers and
professionals working within the development sector.
