"Grindle looks at the histories of public sector reform in six developed countries
and compares them with contemporary struggles for reform in four Latin American countries.
A historical, case-based approach allows her to take into account contextual differences
between countries as well as to identify cycles that govern reform across the board.
As a rule, she finds, transition to merit-based systems involves years and sometimes
decades of conflict and compromise with supporters of patronage, as new systems of
public service are politically constructed. Becoming aware of the limitations of public
sector reform, Grindle hopes, will temper expectations for institutional change now
being undertaken." --
