Managing Development: State, Society, and International Contexts

This textbook considers the complexities of development management. Whilst it draws on many disciplines, political context and process provide a framework throughout. The focus is on bureaucratic politics and political relationships between people, theory organizations and the state in development programmes and projects. Agricultural and health development programmes receive particular attention, and the student is provided a selection of development cases, examples, hypothetical situations and role play exercises. By analyzing political parties, interest groups, revolution and governments in an international context, Staudt provides an integrated treatment of development teaching, learning and applications.
