This title was first published in 2003. This insightful work
examines institutional formation and change as evidence of the
major re-shaping of government internationally over the last two
decades. It is based on a series of case studies of institutional
reform and ranges across institutions in countries including the
UK, China, Australia and the USA. Each case study considers
questions concerning the establishment of institutions, such as:
what have been the objectives of institutional changes? What are
the principles and values on which new institutions are founded? In
addition to looking at broad hypotheses regarding the state and new
institutions, the book also draws together practical lessons
regarding institutional reform. Thus the cases are analysed as a
group to throw light on a number of issues: are there patterns
discernible in the formation of new political institutions? What do
the cases reveal about what works, and what does not work, in
forming new institutions? What predictions can be made about the
relationship between values and governance structures?
