Now they face a much more constly and protracted task of rebuilding state capacity to deliver social services, regulate the economy, avoid recurrent fiscal crises, and improve the overall functioning of government. Why have some countries (such as Brazil, Argentina, and Chile) progressed further on administrative reform, one of the most important of the second generation reforms, than other countries (like Mexico)? Administrative reform usually starts with small groups of reformers within the executive branch. Among factors that facilities reform are: balance of payments and fiscal crises ( and political mobilization of support to resolve them ), middle class and rural support, and the effective packageing of reform initiatives. Contrary to much of the literature, the nature of the party system (cohesion, discipline, and parity) does not explain much of the variation in reform experiences
