Summary: Institutional Reform & Economic Development in Egypt
Review: This valuable study of institutional aspects of liberalisation and reform exemplifies, as Robert Springborg writes in the Forward to this book, 'how cross-disciplinary social science research can assist decision-makers in better understanding the relationship between political and economic reform, as well as in formulating specific policies to expedite these processes.' The volume represents not only a fine marriage of theory, empirical analysis, and policy prescription; it also makes a solid contribution to political economy. By analysing political and economic reforms as integrally related, it helps to brings clarity to issues which, in recent decades, have been clouded by the analytic convention of treating politics and economics as separate spheres of social activity.
