N2  - Built on dreams, grounded in reality is a set of case studies ny academic and development practitioners focused on trying to uncover why some Philippine economic policy reforms succeeded while others failed. It includes five successful reform cases on how competition was introduced in telecommunications, civil aviation, and sea transport; how water services was privatized; and how a property rights law was passed. Two unsuccessful reforms, reforming the tax administration agency and a government corporation involved in the grain-rice sector, are also examined. Development agencies, practitioners, policymakers, and academics get a front-row seat in the fascinating and engaging political battles fought leading to a better appreciation and understanding of how institutional reforms happen and who make them happen
