This paper studies the interaction between different actors in the policy-making process of fiscal transfer reform in Colombia, using the “life cycle of reform” framework to analyse this reform and following critical phases in the process. This paper shows that the economic context and institutional factors, such as the new political structure for interactions between agents after the 1991 Constitution, were fundamental in achieving the reform. Moreover, it confirms previous studies showing that communication and compensation strategies play a key role in the approval of reforms.

Labour disputes have intensified in China in recent years, alongside the labour shortages and wage inflation, particularly since 2008 when several Chinese labour related laws were issued or updated.
