Covid-19 and the case for global development
The ‘New’ national development planning and global development goals
The number of countries with a national development plan has more than doubled, from about 62 in 2006 to 134 in 2018. More than 80 per cent of the global population now lives in a country with a national development plan of one form or another. This is a stunning recovery of a practice that had been discredited in the 1980s and 1990s as a relic of directed economies and state-led development. Several factors have fostered this re-emergence but fr…
From International to Global Development
Recent claims of 21st century global convergence and the 'rise of the South' suggest a profound and ongoing redrawing of the global map of development and inequality. This article synthesizes shifting geographies of development across economic, social and environmental dimensions, and considers their implications for the 'where' of development. Some convergence in aggregate development indicators for the global North and South during this century…

Urban Poverty and Climate Change
This book deepens the understanding of the broader processes that shape and mediate the responses to climate change of poor urban households and communities in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Representing an important contribution to the evolution of more effective pro-poor climate change policies in urban areas by local governments, national governments and international organisations, this book is invaluable reading to students and scholars of …

NGOs, States, and Donors Revisited
Serious questions remain about the ability of NGOs to meet long-term transformative goals in their work for development and social justice. We investigate how, given their weak roots in civil society and the rising tide of technocracy that has swept through the world of foreign aid, most NGOs remain poorly placed to influence the real drivers of social change. However we also argue that NGOs can take advantage of their traditional strengths to bu…
New development alternatives or business as usual with a new face? The transformative potential of new actors and alliances in development
The state, market and civil society constitute the three main institutional domains of the ‘development’ landscape. Perceptions of these three actors have evolved over time alongside conceptualisations of what constitutes and best promotes ‘development’. The array of contributions in this special issue points towards a worrying implication for the transformative potential of development activities and interventions. While the new diversity in act…
The Millennium Development Goals and Beyond
From 1000 AD to 1800 AD, Asia, Africa and Latin America-comprising today s developing countries-accounted for 65-75 percent of world population and income. China and India dominated the world economy and Turkey dominated the Islamic world. Europe surged to world dominance through the industrial, transport and communications revolutions, and the ideology and practice of colonialism. Nostalgic imperial revisionism about the spread of civilization n…
Contrasting adaptation responses by squatters and low-income tenants in Khulna, Bangladesh
This paper examines patterns of adaptive behaviour in low-income settlements (1) in Khulna, Bangladesh’s third largest city. It contrasts the adaptive behaviours of “squatter” households who “own” their land with those of tenants who rent dwellings from private landlords, and finds significant differences between the adaptive behaviours of owners and renters. This is important, as most knowledge about low-income settlements in Bangladesh originat…
Civil Society and Poverty
In the past two decades, “civil society” has become a central organizing concept in the social sciences. Occupying the middle ground between the state and private life, the civil sphere encompasses everything from associations to protests to church groups to nongovernmental organizations. Interest in the topic exploded with the decline of statism in the 1980s and 1990s, and many of our current debates about politics and social policy are informed…
Global Poverty
Around 1.4 billion people presently live in extreme poverty, and yet despite this vast scale, the issue of global poverty had a relatively low international profile until the end of the 20th century. In this important new work, Hulme charts the rise of global poverty as a priority global issue, and its subsequent marginalisation as old themes edged it aside (trade policy and peace-making in regions of geo-political importance) and new issues were…
The Role of NGOs and Civil Society in Development and Poverty Reduction
Beyond the BRICs
International Norm Dynamics and the “End of Poverty”
THE PURPOSE OF DEVELOPMENT AS A GLOBAL OBJECTIVE REQUIRING INTERNATIONAL cooperation can and has been defined in many ways. Such definitions depend on how political leaders envision important normative goals for world; how economists, philosophers, and political scientists theorize process of development; and how these ideas are utilized and adopted by key stakeholders. A significant evolution in recent years has been emergence of a broad consens…
Neglecting the urban poor in Bangladesh
In Bangladesh, urban poverty is neglected in research, policy and action on poverty reduction. This paper explores the underlying reasons for this relative neglect, which include national identity and image, the political economy of urban poverty and the structuring of knowledge creation. It argues for more comprehensive policy and programmes for the urban poor given Bangladesh’s increasingly urban future and the growing magnitude of urban povert…
Assessing NGO Performance
NGO Accountability in Bangladesh
NGOs, states and donors
The contributions to this volume were first discussed at an international workshop held in Manchester in June 1994. They are concerned with the themes of the broad relationships between NGOs, governments and official donor agencies, and how these changing relationships are affecting state-society relations, the future of development cooperation, and the interests of poor people. The concern reflected in the title is that NGOs may have become so c…

Social Capital and the Political Economy of Violence
This article examines the links between militarised violence and social capital (trans)formation. It first maps out emerging theoretical and policy debates on social capital and violent conflict and questions a number of the assumptions underpinning these debates. This is followed by an empirical analysis of several war-affected communities in Sri Lanka. The case studies illustrate that the links between militarised violence and social capital ar…

Bureaucratic Effects
Evans and Rauch (1999) have demonstrated that there is a strong relationship between the 'Weberianness' of a national state's bureaucratic capacities and its record on economic growth. Using their data set and the best available data sets on the incidence of income poverty, this article investigates whether there is a relationship between a Weberian notion of effective bureaucratic capacities and the state's ability to reduce poverty. Using the s…

Confronting Conservation at Mount Elgon, Uganda
National parks remain at the centre of conservation efforts in Africa, although the long established strategy of conservation through law enforcement is now supplemented by participatory strategies such as community conservation. These new strategies have not changed the preservationist thrust of conservation policy and action. The relationships between parks and people are best understood as struggles in which 'park neighbours' use covert and ov…
Escaping Violence, Seeking Freedom
In Bangladesh, as in many developing countries, there is a widespread belief amongst the public, policy makers and social workers that children 'abandon' their families and migrate to the street because of economic poverty. Ignoring and avoiding mounting evidence to the contrary, this dominant narrative posits that children whose basic material needs cannot be met within the household move to the street. This article explores this narrative throu…

The last decade has witnessed a growing emphasis on economic liberalization. This ‘new orthodoxy’ has come at a time when there is an increasing atmosphere of disillusionment surrounding conventional approaches to regional policy. Calls have been made for the creation of a new regional paradigm of ‘developmen…

Scaling up NGO impact on development
Despite their increasing numbers and size, the impact of non-governmental organisations' activity on development is usually localised and often transitory. In consequence, NGOs need to analyse the strategies by which they may be able to 'cale up ̊s their contribution to development. This article summarises the proceedings of a recent Workshop at the University of Manchester, England, which explored such strategies through a large number of case-s…
Food subsidy policy and democracy
This article compares the political processes involved in food subsidy policies in Sri Lanka and Zambia and relates these experiences to the concept of ‘good government’ that western nations have been promoting. The Sri Lankan case illustrates the workings of the policy process in a democratic political system, albeit one that centralized considerably in the 1980s. The Zambian case illustrates the policy process in a one‐party state that returned…
