There's a really good 4-page briefing at http://www.institutions-africa.org/filestream/20121024-appp-policy-brief-09-development-as-a-collective-action-problem. The APPP team has gone quite a bit further than the 'working with the grain' idea. And as for North & al, agreed that the idea of evolution may not be useful, but the 'analytic grid' that they propose to understand what type of state-society set-up is a partiular country, is useful.
