This book explains how advanced democracies and welfare states can
achieve welfare-enhancing, liberal institutional reform. It
develops a general theory based on an extended comparative case
study of Sweden and Australia over the last 25 years, and offers an
in-depth contribution to the field of institutional change,
explaining how to govern a country well and how to overcome
different barriers to reform, such as special interests, negativity
biases and media logic. It develops the concepts of the 'reform
cycle', 'reform strategies' and 'polycentric experiential' learning
in order to explain successful reforms, and the key role of policy
entrepreneurs, who introduce and develop new ideas. The book
further examines why these reforms came to an end. Karlson also
applies the ideas of Popperian, Kuhnian and Machiavellian reform
strategies, and explains why they are needed for reform to come
about. The theory of modern statecraft presented here involves a
combination of knowing w hat and knowing how. It has the potential
to be generally applicable in any advanced democracy with the
ambition to improve its economy and society. This book is of
interest for anyone who is concerned about budget deficits, slow
growth, over regulation, lack of structural reforms and the rise of
populism. It will appeal to scholars of political science, public
policy and political economy.
