Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Development and the State in the 21st Century provides a comprehensive analysis of the state's role in contemporary development.The book examines the challenges that states face in the developing world from lasting poverty and political instability to disease and natural disasters and explores the ways in which states can build capacity to surmount these challenges. It takes seriously the role that state institutions can play in development while also looking at what institutional reform entails and why this reform is critical for policy recommendations to work. This analysis is set in the context of the evolution of both development practice and development theory.Chapters are organized around the key issues in the field and deploy a wide range of examples from different countries. A range of case studies throughout the text demonstrate the variety of problems development practitioners face and the key theoretical debates surrounding the subject. This text will be particularly useful to students of development and politics who wish to understand how governance and state-building can improve countries' economic performance and end cycles of poverty. An introduction to the contemporary challenges states in the developing world face, and to the ways in which they can build capacity to handle them.
