Abstract
Since the 1980s a wave of institutional and policy reforms, starkly coloured by an Anglo Saxon lens of economic theory, has raged across the globe. Several chapters in this book bear witness to this phenomenon. These chapters include countries one would not immediately regard as culturally affiliated to either Britain or the United States.
