This book is about the way 'governance' has become the new
orthodoxy of development, following earlier failed attempts at
building working market economies through policy reform in
developing countries. Considering how its proponents define 'good
governance', the contributors to this volume assess why programmes
of governance building in developing countries have proven to be no
less problematic than the previous agendas of market reform.
Governance and the Depoliticisation of Development challenges ideas
that deeper political and social problems of development may be
addressed by institutional or governance fixes. It examines the
principles and prescriptions of 'good' governance as part of larger
conflicts over power and its distribution. The volume provides: a
series of case studies from Latin America, Middle East and Asia a
link to current theorising on neoliberalism and the post-Washington
Consensus a focus on governance at the global and national levels
from a comparative perspective The collection will be essential
reading for researchers and scholars of international political
economy, governance studies and political science.
