About |
Advocating reforms targeting the goal of a constitutional democracy and socially responsible market economy, the Transformation Index BTI provides the framework for an exchange of best practices among agents of reform. Within this framework, the BTI publishes two rankings, the Status Index and the Management Index, both of which are based on in-depth assessments of 128 countries. Read more |
Political Management of Transformation |
The BTI's key innovation is its focus on the steering and management of development and transformation processes. The Index reviews and evaluates the reform activities of political decision makers, thus providing valuable information on the key factors of success and failure for states on their way to democracy and a market economy. Governments must be determined in pursuing their goals, they must be prudent and effective in using their resources, and they must combine the capacity to govern with consensus-building while cooperating reliably with neighboring states and external support organizations. The BTI is the only ranking worldwide to focus so thoroughly on political leaders' management performance with self-collected data. The level of difficulty evaluation accounts for the fact that the quality of transformation management is shaped by each state's unique structural conditions. The more adverse a country's structural conditions and the more limited its available resources, the higher good governance is scored in the Management Index. |
