Development's current focus - poverty reduction and good governance
- signals a turn away from the older neoliberal preoccupation with
structural adjustment, privatisation, and downsizing the state. For
some, the new emphases on empowering and securing the poor through
basic service delivery, local partnership, decentralisation and
institution building constitute a decisive break with the past, and
a whole set of new Development possibilities beyond neoliberalism.
Taking a wider historical perspective, this book charts the
emergence of poverty reduction and governance at the centre of
Development. It shows that the Poverty Reduction paradigm does
indeed mark a shift in the wider liberal project that has
underpinned Development: precisely what is new, and what this means
for how the poor are governed, are here described in detail.
This book provides a compelling history of Development doctrine and
practice, and in particular offers the first comprehensive account
of the last 20 years, and Development's shift towards a new
political economy of institution building, decentralised governance
and local partnerships. The story is illustrated with extensive
case studies from first hand experience in Vietnam, Uganda,
Pakistan and New Zealand.
