Description

Doing Development examines how government programmes and major donor initiatives have paradoxically worsened conditions for the absolutely poor across Asia's rural regions, whilst simultaneously reinforcing existing exploitative economic, social and political structures. This critical analysis from Routledge explores the disconnect between intended development outcomes and real-world impacts on vulnerable populations. The book contrasts conventional top-down approaches with alternative development strategies championed by grassroots movements, religious organisations, voluntary groups and academic institutions that prioritise the agency and empowerment of rural communities. Essential reading for development economists, policy makers and scholars seeking to understand why traditional aid frameworks often fail the poorest citizens and what community-led alternatives might achieve.

Key Features

Analyses government development programmes and their unintended consequences for Asia's rural poor and economically vulnerable populations.

Compares conventional donor-driven strategies with alternative approaches from grassroots movements, religious organisations and voluntary groups.

Part of the Routledge Aid and Development Set, providing academic rigour for economics and development policy studies.

Examines how development initiatives have reinforced existing exploitative economic, social and political structures across developing regions.

Explores solutions championed by universities and civil society organisations focused on genuine community empowerment and agency.
