dc.description.abstract |
Reform programs sometimes falter because
they are politically infeasible. Policy change inevitably
creates winners and losers, so those with vested interests
strike bargains to determine how far and how quickly reform
should advance. Understanding these micro political dynamics
of reform can mean the difference between a successful
intervention that gains political traction and a
well-intentioned gambit that falls short of achieving its
developmental objectives. Donors like the World Bank have
been searching for ways to take these political factors more
fully into account as they design programs to support
country reforms. This initiative sought to introduce a
rigorous and operationally usable political analysis tool
that could be systematically integrated into the World
Bank's country programming cycle. The East Asia and
Pacific region carried out a multi-country pilot of the
Agent-Based Stakeholder Model. This innovative analytical
approach entails a quantitative simulation of the complex
bargaining dynamics surrounding reform. The model
anticipates stakeholder coalition formation and gauges the
political feasibility of alternative proposed interventions.
This paper provides a review of the Agent-Based Stakeholder
Model pilot experience, exploring what sets this model apart
from more traditional approaches, how it works, and how it
fits into the Bank's operational cycle at various
stages. An overview of the Mongolia, Philippines, and
Timor-Leste country cases is followed by an examination of
policy-related insights and lessons learned. Finally, the
paper builds on this East Asian pilot experience, offering
ideas on a potential way forward for organizations like the
World Bank to deepen and extend their political analysis
capabilities. The paper argues that the Agent-Based
Stakeholder Model, utilized thoughtfully, offers a powerful
addition to the practical political economy toolkit.
