Reviews

'Institutions, Globalisation and Empowerment provides a useful contribution to the emerging literature on institutions and economic development. It also provides interesting examples of the failures and successes of institutional reform.' -- Esteban Perez Caldentey, Eastern Economic Journal 'Institutions, Globalisation and Empowerment is highly topical and presents a multidimensional perspective of the changing role of institutions and their impact on development in the era of globalisation.' -- Global Business Review 'The editors of this volume ... deserve our wholesome appreciation for choosing so many diverse case studies under one cover... the book deserves to be read by policymakers, academics and civil society groups throughout the world.' -- P.S. Jayaramu, Journal of Social and Economic Development
