The Anti-Politics Machine (1990) examines how international
development projects are conceived, researched, and put into
practice. It also looks at what these projects actually achieve.
Ferguson criticizes the idea of externally-directed 'development'
and argues that the process doesn't take proper account of the
daily realities of the communities it is intended to benefit.
Instead, they often prioritize technical solutions for addressing
poverty and ignoring its social and political dimensions, so the
structures that these projects put in place often have unintended
consequences. Ferguson suggests that until the process becomes more
reflective, development projects will continue to fail.
