The twentieth century was characterised by major advances in
science and technology, and the pursuit of ambitious developmental
goals strengthened the technocratic orientation of public
administration. This study addresses technocratic factors in policy
formulation and implementation by examining Indian and Dutch
policies in primary education and primary health for establishing
and sustaining human capital. While comparisons between India and
the Netherlands may appear to be a mismatch due to substantial
differences in levels of socio-economic development, similarities
are nevertheless manifest. Both being deeply democratic and
parliamentary, their systems of government are not far apart
despite one being a decentralised unitary state and the other a
quasi-federal state. Likewise, technocratisation in decision-making
in both countries has been stimulated by changes in the past
decade: the Netherlands is adjusting to membership in the European
Union while India has adopted liberalised economic policies. This
book provides opportunities for learning from experience as well as
providing generalisations about patterns of change. Published in
association with Indo-Dutch Programme on Alternatives in
Development.
