description The world is changing, and so is the unquestioning belief that development policies are always right. Instead of focusing on the rather limited notion of poverty, this book aims to deepen our understanding of the broad issue of development. What are the drivers of development? What new issues have arisen due to globalization? And what kind of policies contribute to development in a world that is changing rapidly? The articles in this book provide insight into the muddled trajectories of development on various continents and rethink the notion of development in a globalizing, interdependent world. Taken together, the still fuzzy contours of a paradigm shift emerge from the 'Washington Confusion'. Development can no longer be the ambitious, moral project based on a standard model of economic European or American modernization. 'Doing better' means being less moralistic, more modest and pragmatic, and taking seriously the path dependencies and social realities that exist in each country.

'Doing better' means being less moralistic, more modest and pragmatic, and taking seriously the path dependencies and social realities that exist in each country. 'Goed doen' kan een stuk beter volgens de Wetenschappelijke Raad voor het Regeringsbeleid. Niet armoedebestrijding maar ontwikkeling zou de doelstelling moeten zijn van ontwikkelingssamenwerking. Het 'beter doen' betekent bovendien minder moraliseren, bescheidener en pragmatischer interveniC+ren, minder voorschrijven hoe het moet en maatwerk leveren. Landen moeten hun eigen ontwikkelingspad volgen, niet het onze. Deze verkenning is de opmaat voor een rapport over de toekomst van ontwikkelingssamenwerking dat in het najaar verschijnt. 2021-02-10T12:58:18Z 2010-12-31 23:55:55 2019-12-10 14:46:32 2020-04-01T15:38:30Z 2009 book 340016 OCN: 477249807 http://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/35310 9789089641076 https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/36996 eng WRR Verkenningen open access image/jpeg image/jpeg image/jpeg image/jpeg n/a n/a n/a n/a https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/35310/1/340016.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/35310/1/340016.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/35310/1/340016.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/35310/1/340016.pdf Amsterdam University Press 10.5117/9789089641076 10.5117/9789089641076 de2ecbe7-1037-4e96-8c3a-5a842d921e04 9789089641076 378 open access
