Elements in the Politics of Development

Onoma Ato Kwamena: The Undulating
Capacity of the State

The Undulating Capacity of the State

Autochthony and Infrastructure Development in African Cities

Understanding Disaster Preparedness

Shocks and Politics

This Element focuses on everyday claim-making by drawing together bodies of research in and with different communities. The authors argue that claim-making is a form of citizenship practice, that is prevalent in uneven and unequal settings, and it is of critical consequence.

Everyday Citizenship Practice and Its Consequences

Claim-Making in Comparative Perspective

Claim-making - the everyday strategies through which citizens pursue rights fulfilment - is often overlooked in studies of political behavior, which tend to focus on highly visible, pivotal moments: elections, mass protests, high court decisions, legislative decisions. But what of the politics of the everyday? This Element takes up this question, drawing together research from Colombia, South Africa, India, and Mexico. The authors argue that claim-making is a distinct form of citizenship practice characterized by its everyday nature, which is neither fully programmatic nor clientelistic; and which is prevalent in settings marked by gaps between the state's de jure commitments to rights and their de facto realization. Under these conditions, claim making is both meaningful (there are rights to be secured) and necessary (fulfillment is far from guaranteed). Claim-making of this kind is of critical consequence, both materially and politically, with the potential to shape how citizens engage (or disengage) the state.

In this Element, the authors find that compared with other emerging capitalist economies, the Chinese bureaucracy has developed relatively strong capabilities to advance "innovation-driven development". This Element seeks to provide avenues for comparing it with other late developers.

A Chinese Bureaucracy for Innovation-Driven Development?

This Element investigates the relationship between the narcotics industry and politics and assesses how it influences domestic political dynamics, including economic development prospects in Latin America. It argues that links between criminal organizations, politicians, and state agents give rise to criminal politics (i.e., the interrelated activity of politicians, organized crime actors, and state agents in pursuing their respective agendas and goals). Criminal politics is upending how countries function politically and, consequently, impacting the prospects and nature of their social and economic development. The Element claims that diverse manifestations of criminal politics arise depending on how different phases of drug-trafficking activity (e.g., production, trafficking, and money laundering) interact with countries' distinct politico-institutional endowments. The argument is probed through the systematic examination of four cases that have received scant attention in the specialized literature: Chile, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay

Criminal Politics and Botched Development in Contemporary Latin America

Nationalism has long been a normatively and empirically contested concept, associated with democratic revolutions and public goods provision, but also with xenophobia, genocide, and wars. Moving beyond facile distinctions between 'good' and 'bad' nationalisms, the authors argue that nationalism is an empirically variegated ideology. Definitional disagreements, Eurocentric conceptualizations, and linear associations between ethnicity and nationalism have hampered our ability to synthesize insights. This Element proposes that nationalism can be broken down productively into parts based on three key questions: (1) Does a nation exist? (2) How do national narratives vary? (3) When do national narratives matter? The answers to these questions generate five dimensions along which nationalism varies: elite fragmentation and popular fragmentation of national communities; ascriptiveness and thickness of national narratives; and salience of national identities.

Communities, Narratives, Identities

Varieties of Nationalism

This Element discusses the impacts of missionary work in sub-Saharan Africa. It illustrates inherently more political and context-dependent aspects of missionary behavior, such as local struggles for religious hegemony between Protestants and Catholics and interactions between colonial regimes and the church-based provision of goods like education.

The Political Economy of Missionary Work in Colonial-Era Africa

Power and Conviction

This Element argues that the low dynamism of low- to mid-income Arab economies is explained with a set of inter-connected factors constituting a 'segmented market economy'. These include an over-committed and interventionist state with limited fiscal and institutional resources; deep insider-outsider divides among firms and workers that result from and reinforce wide-ranging state intervention; and an equilibrium of low skills and low productivity that results from and reinforces insider-outsider divides. These mutually reinforcing features undermine encompassing cooperation between state, business and labor. While some of these features are generic to developing countries, others are regionally specific, including the relative importance and historical ambition of the state in the economy and, closely related, the relative size and rigidity of the insider coalitions created through government intervention. Insiders and outsiders exist everywhere, but the divisions are particularly stark, immovable and consequential in the Arab world.

Insiders and Outsiders in Arab Capitalism

Locked Out of Development

"Scholars and practitioners seek development solutions through the engineering and strengthening of state institutions. Yet, the state is not the only or the primary arena shaping how citizens, service providers and state officials engage in actions that constitute politics and development. These individuals are members of religious orders, ethnic communities, and other groups that make claims on them, creating incentives that shape their actions. Recognizing how individuals experience these claims and view the choices before them is essential to understanding political processes and development outcomes. This Element establishes a framework elucidating these forces, which is key to knowledge accumulation, designing future research and effective programming. Taking an institutional approach, this Element explains how the salience of arenas of authority associated with various communities and the nature of social institutions within them affect politics and development. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core"--

The Role of Competing Authorities and Social Institutions in Politics and Development

Everyday Choices

"This Element studies the causes and the consequences of modern imperialism. The focus is on British and U.S. imperialism in the nineteenth and the twentieth centuries respectively. The dynamics of both formal and informal empires are analyzed. The argument is that imperialism is moved mainly by the desire of major powers to enhance their national economic prosperity. They do so by undermining sovereignty in peripheral countries and establishing open economic access. The impact on the countries of the periphery tends to be negative. In a world of states, then, national sovereignty is an economic asset. Since imperialism seeks to limit the exercise of sovereign power by subject people, there tends to be an inverse relationship between imperialism and development: the less control a state has over its own affairs, the less likely it is that the people of that state will experience economic progress"--

Imperial Origins of the Developing World

Greed and Guns

There are many ideas about how the world should change to improve the lot of large portions of the population and many individuals, groups and organisations who are trying to put those ideas into practice. Development: The Basics is an absorbing introduction to those policies, practices and players in human development and addresses key questions including: Is development simply about alleviating poverty? Do development ideas work best at the global or local level? How can we achieve the goal of sustainable development? Do the outcomes always match the intentions?Featuring examples drawn from around the world, a glossary, timelines and suggestions for further reading this book is the ideal starting point for those new to the study of development.

Development: The Basics

Routledge Advances in International Relations and Global Politics

Does judicial accountability have a valid place in ending corruption and augmenting rebuilding of the shattered state? Dave Benjamin offers a thoughtful polemic intended to provoke discussion about how to bring justice to peoples who are disenfranchised by kleptocracy, and who seek justice that would hold those who have plundered their countries judicially and criminally responsible for their actions.

Conflict, State Failure and Judicial Accountability

Corruption as an International Crime

By analyzing the key theories of political behavior in the context of Latin America, Orlando Pérez illustrates the impact, nature, and limits of democratization. This book is the first comprehensive attempt to analyze empirically the factors that determine citizen participation in the region using theoretically grounded and empirically sound longitudinal data.

Space, Materiality and the Normative

This book employs critical theory to investigate the different worldviews involved in an engagement with indigenous normativities, and to suggest practical solutions for overcoming the systemic inequalities between Indigenous and non-indigenous cultures.

Spaces of Indigenous Justice

The Routledge Human Development and Capability Debates

Ideas which engage with the lived experiences of indigenous communities are crucial if we are to understand indigenous peoples' struggle for rights and recognition. Indigenous Peoples and the Capability Approach introduces readers to the human development and capability approach and shows how it might be used to help us to understand the values, needs, and aspirations of indigenous peoples. Indigenous Peoples and the Capability Approach is the first book to bring indigenous perspectives into conversation with the capability approach and will be essential reading for both students and policy makers with an interest in the well-being and development of indigenous communities.

Routledge IAFFE Advances in Feminist Economics

In the wake of the global financial crisis, governments in many countries have imposed widespread cuts in public expenditure and social rights, some of which have been so dramatic that they have been described as 'austericide'. This book explores the financial crisis and the policies implemented in response to it in terms of the differences in the ways in which women and men have been affected by it, using an approach which combines feminist economics and a political economy framework. The book's aim is to question conventional economic theories in order to present more critical and realistic policy approaches. The breadth of the book's exploration of the impact of the cuts, exploring issues such as gender stereotyping and the sustainability of welfare systems, moves it beyond other analyses of gender and the crisis.

The Feminist Economics of Austerity

Grundwissen Politik

Nicht erst seit der Transformation der politischen Systeme in Osteuropa wird dem schon in den 1950er Jahren entwickeltem Ansatz der politischen Kulturforschung wieder größere Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt. Seine zentrale Frage richtet sich auf die Herstellung und Bedingungen der Stabilität eines politischen Systems. Neuere Betrachtungen implizieren die Integration der politischen Kulturforschung in die Überlegungen der vergleichenden empirischen Demokratieforschung als eine grundsätzlich Staaten und Regionen vergleichende Form der Analyse. Sie besitzt somit eine methodische, aber auch inhaltliche Breite wie kaum ein anderer politikwissenschaftlicher Forschungsansatz. Die Zielstellung der Vorgehensweise politischer Kulturforschung bezieht sich vor allem auf die subjektiven Einstellungen der Bevölkerung, welche der Grundpfeiler für die zukünftige Konsolidierung, Akzeptanz und Aufrechterhaltung der existierenden Staatsformen, aber auch der Demokratie als Konzept an sich sind. Das vorliegende Buch schafft durch die Integration der theoretischen Grundprämissen des Ansatzes der politischen Kulturforschung, der Darstellung seiner Einbindung in die international vergleichende Demokratieforschung, dem Aufzeigen seines methodischen Vorgehens und der Explikation der wichtigsten internationalen Vergleichsergebnisse eine breit gefächerte Diskussionsgrundlage für Forschung und Lehre.¿

Routledge Explorations in Development Studies

Bridging theory and practice, this comprehensive book critically examines regional and spatial strategies for development and their outcomes, drawing on a wide range of international examples. It highlights lessons learned from the implementation of spatial and regional approaches to development, discusses the strengths and weaknesses of these various approaches and promotes a new framework of spatial and regional development, advocating a dynamic approach to local-national-global integration.

CRESC

Shanghai actively uses culture to promote itself as a global city. This book explores how this has been conceived and pursued, and what questions it raises for notions of 'culture' and 'economy' as understood in the West. If theoretical work around the 'cultural economy' has problematized these two, this book locates these debates empirically in a non-western metropolis.
