As power and politics play a role in every society, rich or poor,
Bates argues it is the reorganization of coercion--not its
extinction--that underpins the security needed for investment.
Although history makes clear that political structures can be used
for destructive ends, it also demonstrates their importance in
ensuring the peace needed for prosperity. In this revised edition,
Bates strengthens his critique of development studies and
development agencies, basing it on his analysis of the nature of
states that emerged following WWII.
