Pero, contra lo que suele creerse, disponen de muy poco margen de maniobra para hacer el bien. ¿Quién ha logrado reducir de forma sustancial los índices de violencia, por ejemplo? ¿Alguien ha conseguido acabar con el crimen organizado, consolidar las instituciones democráticas, fortalecer los contrapesos del sistema político o reducir la pobreza de forma radical y duradera en el tiempo?
