Political Institutions and Development challenges the cliche that
'good institutions' are essential for sustainable socio-economic
development by focusing on the need to adapt potential solutions to
local conditions. The authors argue that there is no one optimal
institutional design that can be successfully applied to any
country. The macro- and micro-level studies contained in this book
demonstrate that institutions are highly context-dependent and
time-sensitive and must be tailored to local conditions.
Specifically, law and order, effective governance, ethnic
sensitivity, a supporting political culture, civil rights, and
individual opportunities to participate in decision-making are also
necessary. With its global perspective, this book explores the
relationship between political institutions and development from
such diverse regions as the Commonwealth of Independent States,
East and South Asia, and Latin America. This book will appeal to
scholars and researchers in political science, economics, political
economy, development studies and globalization. It will also find a
wider audience amongst policymakers, development agencies and
policy communities throughout the world.
