Abstract

ABSTRACTApplying the Varieties of Capitalism approach, this paper explains why current reforms in the field of labour and training policies in Georgia are not complementary and therefore run the risk of reproducing superficial institutions. Developments in two policy areas are discussed since the early 1990s with particular attention to discerning the role of international actors (donors) in the formation of institutional complementarity. The article argues that compliance with donor requirements is often predetermined by the incentives to keep receiving benefits rather than implementing substantial changes. As a result, a lack of complementarity and superficial institutions persist.
