The political settlements framework argues that the distribution of organizational power is important for understanding the economic and political effects of institutions and policies. Institutions and policies describe rules that in turn determine resource allocation, and these can affect different types of organizations in very different ways. Organizations can be expected to support, resist or distort particular institutions or policies depending on their interests and capabilities. The distribution of organizational power can therefore determine the institutions and policies that are likely to persist as well as the ones most likely to be developmental in that context. This directs our attention to the importance of accurately identifying the relative power and capabilities of relevant organizations that describe a particular political settlement and how these may be changing over time. The articles in African Affairs that have used the political settlements framework demonstrate its usefulness. In this overview we examine the motivations behind the development of the framework and some of the challenges of applying it in the context of dynamic interactions between institutions and organizations. We also discuss the most appropriate definition of a political settlement, the questions the framework is most suited to answer and the challenges ahead for developing the framework and its applications.

政治解决和制度分析

政治解决框架认为,组织权力的分配对于理解制度和政策的经济和政治影响很重要。制度和政策描述了反过来决定资源分配的规则,这些规则可以以非常不同的方式影响不同类型的组织。可以预期组织会根据其利益和能力来支持、抵制或扭曲特定的机构或政策。因此,组织权力的分配可以决定在这种情况下可能持续存在的机构和政策以及最有可能发展的机构和政策。这将我们的注意力引向准确识别描述特定政治解决方案的相关组织的相对权力和能力以及这些可能如何随时间变化的重要性。非洲事务中使用政治解决框架的文章证明了它的用处。在本概述中,我们研究了框架开发背后的动机以及在机构和组织之间动态交互的背景下应用它的一些挑战。我们还讨论了政治解决最合适的定义、框架最适合回答的问题以及开发框架及其应用的未来挑战。非洲事务中使用政治解决框架的文章证明了它的用处。在本概述中,我们研究了框架开发背后的动机以及在机构和组织之间动态交互的背景下应用它的一些挑战。我们还讨论了政治解决最合适的定义、框架最适合回答的问题以及开发框架及其应用的未来挑战。非洲事务中使用政治解决框架的文章证明了它的用处。在本概述中,我们研究了框架开发背后的动机以及在机构和组织之间动态交互的背景下应用它的一些挑战。我们还讨论了政治解决最合适的定义、框架最适合回答的问题以及开发框架及其应用的未来挑战。
