In 1495, an attempt was made at a Reichstag in the city of Worms to give the disintegrating Holy Roman Empire a new structure, commonly referred to as Imperial Reform (in German: Reichsreform).
Whether this reform can be considered successful depends on how one defines its goals; today, many scholars believe that the reform was not really aimed at producing a modern state (in which it failed), but rather attempted to consolidate and distribute power between the Empire and the states in consensus, which it did.
The reform was more or less concluded with the 1555 Reichsexekutionsordnung (Imperial Execution Order), which regulated more details of the tasks of the Imperial Circle Estates.

It has been said that modern history of Germany was primarily predetermined by three factors: the Reich, the Reformation, and the later dualism between Austria and Prussia.[1] Many attempts have been made to explain why the Reich never managed to gain a strong centralised power over the territories, as opposed to neighbouring France.

The IMF program in Korea marks the first instance in which U.S. imperialism has attempted to decisively roll back one of the state-regulated, "organized capitalisms" of East Asia, including Korea, Taiwan and Singapore, as well of course as Japan.
Second, and the key to the first, the IMF sought to impose an extraordinarily broad-ranging "reform" program that would simply dismantle the Korean economy as presently organized, so as to open it up for takeover by multinational corporations and banks.
The effect if not the conscious intent of its draconian austerity policy is to radically reduce the worth of large sections of Korean industry, or push them into outright bankruptcy as a prelude to their purchase at bargain basement prices by overseas banks and corporations.

Efforts by Lord Randolph Churchill to implement further domestic reforms in the tradition of Tory democracy were unsuccessful, but the popular imperialist emphasis remained.
In this period the party was gradually drawing closer to middle-class business interests, but the insistence of Joseph Chamberlain on a program of tariff reform, including imperial preference, split the party, which lost (1906) to the Liberals.
