Hypothesis/Title: Can Choice and Quality of Institutions Explain Divergent growth and Development? A Comparative Analysis
I want to do empirical studies on the political economy of institutions in a changing world. The study seek to interrogate the claim that institution as defined operationally and functionally (rules or norms, written or unwritten on one part manifesting as politics, customs, culture, regulation and perception) can make the ultimate difference in deciding the extent, period and depth of development and growth of a country or region.
The process will use mixed qualitative approach to explore both primary and secondary material within the target catchment area, period of time and scope.
The hope is to contribute to knowledge in the field of development given that the factors that drive development or business growth are dynamic where key business products of one era may not be central in the next period, and certain catalysts such as political ideology, seaports or security would not be central to growth but new dynamics emerge such as migration, globalisation and nationalistic-centred social service products.
Outcome may aid both political and business public policymaking as well as contributing to dynamic development and growth international debate or search for solutions
