PART I The first several chapters of this book describe the major mechanisms and diagnostic tools of political-economy analysis. Public policy making is a complex process, often characterized by the strategic interaction of stakeholders in continuously evolving contexts. To navigate reform successfully, practitioners need to identify the theoretical logic behind development problems, as well as the politicaleconomy tools that will allow the analysis of their causes and the identification of potential solutions. Thinking in a nuanced fashion about the way in which political incentives can promote or hinder development can lead to feasible and desirable agendas for change.
