Rethinking International Development Series |
| Description: |
Do participatory processes open a political space to marginalized groups and individuals? Or do they co-opt and coerce groups to reinforce existing inequitable relations? In an innovative comparative study which breaks with tradition this book explores these questions by looking at Malawi and Ireland. |
| Synopsis: |
In a world of increasing inequality, marginalization, polarization and division, both within and between nations, the imperative to rethink our collective development paths is ever more urgent. Can participatory governance processes provide a space for this? Or do they co-opt and coerce groups and end up closing these spaces? In an innovative comparative study which breaks with traditional 'north/south' and 'us/them' dichotomies, Niamh Gaynor explores these questions by focusing on political actors in Malawi's Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) and Ireland's Social Partnership processes. Uncovering the tensions, challenges and conflicts facing actors in both processes, and setting out the conditions under which participatory processes can engage diverse voices, this book is of relevance to all concerned with issues of governance, development, equity and social change. |
