the years following the Washington Consensus were dominated by reforms based on the idea that less government is better, when the correct idea would have been that better government is better. Privatization, deregulation, decentralization, and simple cessation and abandonment of entire sectors of activity because of insufficient resources, marked the reform agenda. ... in more than a few cases, the result was a rickety, disjointed government, defenseless in the face of problems for which it nevertheless remains responsible to society, and whose credibility has been undermined by the ideological devaluation that accompanied reform. (Echebarría 2001: 2, on Latin America) The key to succesful PA reform, vital as it is not only, but also, for economic growth, as well as, if you will, for good governance, is to strengthen administrative capacity and competence of a responsive and responsible state

The image does not develop in the symphonic sense. Between its repetitions Tüür inserted different sections. A certain rondo scheme becomes obvious. In principle it is a disjointed movement that could end at anytime. All the retrospective means of expression (very novel in the sixties) are in use but their influence is not the same. One may say that the basis for the problems in Tüür’s symphonic music lies in the lack of clear individual themes: this is not a symphony, but rather a sound picture. The message offered to the listener is modest because the necessary utterance has not been given.
