Developing countries commonly adopt reforms to improve their
governments yet they usually fail to produce more functional and
effective governments. Andrews argues that reforms often fail to
make governments better because they are introduced as signals to
gain short-term support. These signals introduce unrealistic best
practices that do not fit developing country contexts and are not
considered relevant by implementing agents. The result is a set of
new forms that do not function. However, there are realistic
solutions emerging from institutional reforms in some developing
countries. Lessons from these experiences suggest that reform
limits, although challenging to adopt, can be overcome by focusing
change on problem solving through an incremental process that
involves multiple agents.

The collected music writing of ten years covering punk, hardcore
and metal. After ten years covering independent music, webzine
Scene Point Blank commemorates its first decade by publishing this,
its first collection of music writing. Made up of interviews with
figures ranging from the legendary (Ian Mackaye, Henry Rollins)
through to the new blood (Frank Turner, Polar Bear Club) and
everyone in between, it also features a collection of the most
memorable album reviews in the zine's history (including PJ Harvey,
Jimmy Cliff, Public Enemy and Sufjan Stevens). A lot of music is
made in a decade: Scene Point Blank highlights what you need to
hear - now.
'Development as Leadership-led Change' presents the findings of the
Global Leadership Initiative Research Study, which examines
leadership in the change processes of fourteen capacity development
interventions in eight developing countries. The paper explores
what it takes to make change happen in the context of development,
and in particular, the role leadership plays in bringing about
change. The analysis and findings conclude that leadership
manifests itself in different ways in different contexts, depending
on readiness, factors that shape change, and leadership
opportunities. However, the key characteristics of plurality,
functionality, problem orientation, and change space creation are
likely to be common to all successful leadership-led change
events."

This book explains why many institutional reforms in developing
countries have limited success and suggests ways to overcome these
limits. The author argues that reforms often fail to make
governments better because they are introduced as signals to gain
short-term support. These signals introduce unrealistic best
practices that do not fit developing country contexts and are not
considered relevant by implementing agents. The result is a set of
new forms that do not function. However, there are realistic
solutions emerging from institutional reforms in some developing
countries. Lessons from these experiences suggest that reform
limits, although challenging to adopt, can be overcome by focusing
change on problem solving through an incremental process that
involves multiple agents.
