| Summary: | The author presents some general lessons
in institution-building that has relevance for judiciary
reform. She emphasizes the value of simplicity in design
commensurate with country capacity, the importance of
innovation and experimentation, and of economic openness in
effective institution-building. The author underscores how
the incentives of individuals depend on both the details of
institutional design within the judiciary and also some
critical institutions external to the judiciary. Finally she
argues for the need to ground reform initiatives on a solid
empirical and comparative approach. The author illustrates
some of these issues by drawing on a recent project
conducted by the World Bank and other institutions. |
