As he acknowledges, this is beyond the scope of our book: we did not explore rulemaking bypasses. Rather, the focus of our attention was on institutions that deliver services. The reason for limiting the scope of our analysis becomes clear in Fortes’ piece: through a series of comparative and historical analogues to charter cities, Fortes shows that this kind of reform raises significant challenges.</p> ER -
