Case Studies
ISS case series chronicles reformers' efforts to gather support for reform and build institutions in a wide array of contexts. The cases rest on interviews with reform leaders, advisers, and critics or monitors. Currently, ISS provides its materials in English but aspires to provide case studies and other program materials in other languages. Some case studies are available in translation here.
