This book fills a growing gap in the literature on international
development by addressing the debates about good governance and
institution-building within the context of political development.
Political Development returns the key issues of human rights and
democratization to the centre of the development debate and offers
the reader an alternative to the conventional approach to, and
definition of, the idea of 'development'. Discussing political
development in its broadest context, it includes chapters on
democracy, institution-building, the state, state failure, nation,
human rights and political violence.
Damien Kingsbury, a leading expert on development and Southeast
Asia, argues that 'good governance', in its common usage, is too
narrowly defined and that good governance is not just about
ensuring the integrity of a state's financial arrangements, but
that it goes to the core social and political issues of
transparency and accountability, implying a range of social
structures defined as 'institutions'.
Providing new insights into political development, this
comprehensive text can be used on advanced undergraduate and
postgraduate courses in international development, comparative
politics, political theory and international relations.
