Institutional Reform in Developing Countries

Course Description

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2016-2017.

Several developing countries have been grappling with the challenge to restructure public bureaucracies to make them responsive to citizen needs as well as instruments of regulation for dynamic markets.  Citizens in most developing countries have been articulating the need for effective and efficient service delivery from their states as well as civil society. However, delivery of public services, entitlements and regulation demand functional governance mechanisms that negotiate the limited resources and capacities to deliver outcomes.  This course will acquaint the students as to how certain countries and communities across the globe have attempted to improve their institutions and governance. By employing a variety of learning tools, the course will encourage students to identify 'levers of change' that work in real-life situations.
