5.0 out of 5 stars
historical institutionalism at its best,
This review is from: Lineages of Despotism and Development: British Colonialism and State Power (Hardcover)
A fascinating multi-dimensional account of different historical trajectories of development based on the legacy of colonial direct or indirect rule, but also showing that colonialism was not all - immediate post-colonial difference also mattered.
Its important findings raise a key developmental challenge that it was effective destruction of local 'traditional' patterns of governance that often proved decisive in escaping elite capture and triggering long-term sustainable economic growth. Naiveté therefore about optimistic expectations for empowering local patterns of governance may therefore not help pro-poor developemnt outcomes. |
