| Summary: | Over the past 30 years there has been
considerable research on the political economy of reform.
Yet despite this, little is known about strategies for
managing the politics of change-moving from a bad to a
better equilibrium. Part of the challenge of studying this
issue stems from the difficulty of obtaining detailed,
so-called "blow-by-blow" information on actual
reform processes. From this type of information, one can
discern and cull practical lessons on strategy, which by its
very nature is about dealing with political barriers or
problems as they crop up during the implementation process.
This study looks at the sequence of events that ultimately
led to the passage of legislation that markedly altered the
rules that govern public procurement in the Philippines. The
study attempts to distill operationally useful lessons for
managing the politics of a reform process. |
