About this title

Synopsis

Analysis of the distributional impact of policy reforms plays an important role in the elaboration and implementation of poverty reduction strategies in developing and transitional countries, promoting evidence-based policy choices and fostering debate on policy reform options. International agencies and national partners are increasingly encouraging a more systematic application of policy reform analysis. Requisite to a systematic application is capacity building within countries as well as within donor agencies.'Tools for Institutional, Political, and Social Analysis of Policy Reform' contributes to this agenda by introducing a framework and a set of practical tools that analyze the institutional, political, andsocial dimensions of policy design and implementation. The authors fill a perceived gap in knowledge of the application of social tools and complement existing guidance on conventional economic analysis of distributional impacts of reform.This book will be of interest to commissioners and practitioners working in policy analysis in a range of areas—including macroeconomic, sectoral, and public sector policy—that are subject to ongoing policy reform discussions.
