Does Globalization Help to Overcome the “Crisis of Development?” Political Actors and Economic Rents in Central America and the Dominican Republic

Chapter Chapter 6 in Getting Development Right, 2013, pp 117-135 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Overcoming the productive, distributional, and environmental challenges discussed in this book does not only demand new policies, but also new politics. The promotion of structural change in developing countries, for example, requires more dynamic entrepreneurs with incentives to invest in new sectors and a more effective state with the power and capacity to create those incentives. Redistribution of income, meanwhile, is unlikely to happen unless workers and social movements can pressure for new labor and social policies—policies that can also contribute to new production models (see Thandika Mkandawire, this volume).
