Jenkins Julie - An Analysis Of James Ferguson's The Anti - Politics Machine - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: The Anti - Politics Machine (1990) examines how international development projects are conceived researched and put into practice. It also looks at what these projects actually achieve. Ferguson criticizes the idea of externally - directed development and argues that the process doesn t take proper account of the daily realities of the communities it is intended to benefit. Instead they often prioritize technical solutions for addressing poverty and ignoring its social and political dimensions so the structures that these projects put in place often have unintended consequences. Ferguson suggests that until the process becomes more reflective development projects will continue to fail.
