Re-examination of Development Policies and Strategies: Some Political Economy Lessons

Jeffrey Nugent

Chapter 3 in New Development Strategies, 2004, pp 39-62 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Views on which policies and strategies are good for development have changed radically over the last half century. So too have the prevailing circumstances, particularly the national and international political and economic environments in which development policies are chosen. Not surprisingly, there have been two lags of considerable length in the adjustment process. First, views on desirable development policies have lagged behind the experience in development and the realization of changing circumstances. Second, the policies chosen have lagged considerably behind the views on good policy.
