- Development through Institutional Reforms and Bureaucratic Re-Orientation: There is no blueprint for Development. In order to realization of development , it is necessary to advocate the change of an existing system or institutions through reforms and re-orientations. The institutions and systems that are existing need no replacement but modifications. Reformism is the view that gradual changes through existing institutions can eventually lead to fundamental changes in a society’s political and economic systems. Similarly , re-orientation of bureaucratic mindset to work towards practical solutions can eventually lead to the emergence of entirely different economic and political systems than those of present-day capitalism and democracy.
