Egypt is lagging behind other countries in the Mediterranean region in reforming its economy. This book explains why. The authors contend that the Egyptian political system, based to a large extent on discrete patronage and dominated by powerful interest groups was inherently resistant to reform. In addition, the country's strategic position in Middle Eastern politics provided the environment for aid flows which mitigated the need for change by creating an illusion of economic wellbeing. Egypt has thus been protected from the pressure of the international market system. Yet, argues this study, such pressure is the only effective stimulus to fundamental reform.

The greatest economic challenge facing China in the post-Deng era is the reform of unprofitable, state-owned enterprises (SOEs) which threaten to drag down the rest of the economy. Despite an array of well-intentioned, market-oriented reform measures, these firms have never truly been forced to face the pressure of a bottom line, or the threat of bankruptcy. Forging Reform in China explains how and why these measures have not been sweepingly successful to date, and what it would take to achieve meaningful reform. The author investigates firm-level processes, including case studies of China's steel industry giants, revealing institutional and systemic barriers to market-oriented performance. This book makes a compelling argument that private ownership cannot work in China's current system until governance over complex economic factors has been established, that is, until credit is tightened and market selection processes made to work.

En analysant vingt tentatives de réforme structurelle menées dans 10 pays de l’OCDE, ce rapport examine pourquoi certaines de ces réformes politiques sont appliquées et d'autres non. Les études de cas présentées dans l’ouvrage illustrent un large éventail de démarches visant à la réforme de trois secteurs cruciaux : ceux se rapportant aux systèmes de retraite et à la réglementation des marchés du travail et des produits. Les facteurs clés qui dans le domaine de la politique, de l’économie et dans le cadre spécifique du processus de réforme soutiennent celle-ci ou, au contraire, l’entravent sont identifiés tandis que ces résultats font l’objet d’un recoupement effectué en utilisant un ensemble relativement simple de corrélations des rangs de Spearman. La double approche analytique – à la fois quantitative et qualitative – se révèle particulièrement édifiante pour les responsables politiques qui conçoivent, adoptent et mettent en application des réformes politiques structurelles.
