The Politics of Inclusive Development

Reviews / Votes

"The Politics of Inclusive Development is a much-needed corrective to a literature that has for too long focused on the hoary antinomies of 'state' versus 'market' or 'growth' versus 'development'. In this book, Teichman delivers a powerful statement of the conditions under which truly inclusive development are possible. It is a must-read for scholars and practitioners of economic development alike." (Prof. Marcus Kurtz, Ohio State University, USA, Author of Free Market Democracy and the Chilean and Mexican Countryside and Latin American State Building in Comparative Perspective)

"This creative book examines the critically important issue of how countries develop inclusive political economies. Teichman mixes theory and empirics, including both historical and in-depth contemporary case studies, to assess the political underpinnings of inclusive social development. Importantly, the bookhighlights the important role of the state in triggering synergies between productive development and social inclusion." (Prof. Ken Shadlen, Professor of Development Studies, London School of Economics, UK, and one of the Managing Editors of the Journal of Development Studies)

"In this important book, Judith Teichman lays out an argument that basic political agreements are the foundation to support policies that promote employment generation and targeted redistribution as essential means toward equitable, inclusive social development. Whether one agrees or opposes, this lucid, accessible argument stakes out key positions that will inform future debates on growth and distribution." (John Bailey, Emeritus Professor, Department of Government and School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University, USA, and Author of The Politics of Crime in Mexico: Democratic Governance in a Security Trap)
