Today there is a preoccupation among development agencies and
researchers with getting policy right; with exerting influence over
policy, linking research to policy and with implementing policy
around the world. But what if development practice is not driven by
policy at all? Suppose that the things that make for 'good policy'
- policy which legitimises and mobilises political support - in
reality make it impractical and impossible to implement? By
focusing in detail on the activities of a development project in
tribal western India over more than ten years as it falls under
different policy regimes, this book takes a close look at the
relationship between policy and practice in development. David
Mosse shows how the actions of development workers are shaped by
the exigencies of organisations and the need to maintain
relationships rather than by policy. Raising unfamiliar questions,
Mosse provides a rare self-critical reflection on practice, while
refusing to endorse current post-modern dismissal of development.
