While good governance is a worthy goal, this book argues that it is
not a prerequisite for economic growth or development. The book
exposes the methodological shortcomings of the commonly-used
governance indicators developed within the World Bank. The authors
argue that donors should not impose onerous good governance
conditions, expecting the developing world to simulate
now-developed countries. They contend that most poor countries lack
the administrative and financial capacity to achieve these reforms
or institutions - so donor conditionality often becomes a recipe
for failure. In place of grand government reforms aimed at
enhancing market efficiency, the book's position is that the reform
agenda should target strategic bottlenecks for development and
enhance the state's capacity to deal with these disruptions.
Bringing together contributions from leading political scientists,
political economists and development practitioners, this is the
first book to provide a systematic critical perspective on received
notions of good governance.
This book, co-published with the UN's Dept of Economic and Social
Affairs, offers a critical appraisal of the conventional measures
and analysis of poverty as well as of poverty reduction policies.

Despite greater efforts in reducing poverty since the early 1980s,
poverty remains stubbornly high in many parts of the world. This
collection argues that the mainstream perspectives on poverty and
deprivation have contributed to considerable distortion and
misunderstanding and that is not unrelated to ineffectual policy
perscriptions. In particular it highlights the World Bank's
dollar-a-day measure of poverty and exposes the inadequacies of
Bretton Woods-inspired poverty reduction programmes.
