David Mosse is the first social scientist in a generation who can successfuly take cutting-edge insights from academic anthropology and use them to explain practical problems in development. ... For anyone interested in development, "Cultivating Development"; is a do-not-miss experience.' Scott Guggenheim, Lead Social Scientist, The World Bank'[Mosse's] provocative thesis challenges the received wisdom of that world and compels us to examine afresh the politics and ethics of engaging with development. Amid the profusion of literature in this field, this book stands apart as an insider's account that is consistently critical yet steadfast in respecting its subjects. Highly recommended.' Amita Baviskar, Visiting Professor, Department of Cultural and Social Anthropology, Stanford University Development agencies and researchers are preoccupied with policy; with exerting influence over policy, linking research to policy and with implementing policy around the world.But what if development practice is not driven by policy? Suppose that the things that make for 'good policy' - policy that legitimises and mobilises political support - in reality make it impossible to implement? By focusing in detail on the unfolding activities of a development project in western India over more than ten years, as it falls under different policy regimes, this book takes a close look at the relationship between policy and practice in development. David Mosse shows how the actions of development workers are shaped by the exigencies of organisations and the need to maintain relationships rather than by policy; but also that development actors work hardest of all to maintain coherent representations of their actions as instances of authorised policy. Raising unfamiliar questions, Mosse provides a rare self-critical reflection on practice, while refusing to endorse current post-modern dismissal of development. 410 0$aAnthropology, culture, and society. 606 $aEconomic assistance$xPolitical aspects 606 $aEconomic assistance$xSocial aspects 606 $aEconomic assistance, British$zIndia$vCase studies 606 $aEconomic development$xSociological aspects 606 $aRural development projects$zIndia$vCase studies 606 $aRural development$xSociological aspects 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEconomic assistance$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aEconomic assistance$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aEconomic assistance, British 615 0$aEconomic development$xSociological aspects. 615 0$aRural development projects 615 0$aRural development$xSociological aspects. 676 $a307.1412 700 $aMosse$b David$0696358 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454477603321 996 $aCultivating development$91379622 997 $aUNINA
