Getting real about politics - Rocha Menocal (2014)
From thinking politically to working differently
Published
This paper examines what is needed for development actors to make operational the finding that institutions matter for international development, and that behind institutions lie politics.
What is needed is a shift not only to think politically but also to work differently. This means asking hard-hitting questions about how change happens; the role external actors play in supporting that change; and what sorts of programme approaches, funding and staffing are needed as a result.
