What role should the state have in driving development?
Paper instructions:
this is for a MASTERS level essay, Politics of Development class. I really, really need a good grade on this essay. Please help!!
The essay has to be heavily academic based. Keeping opinions to the barest minimum. Needless to say the professor hates essays that are more personal opinion based. And he likes it when some of the references he gave in the module’s reading list are used.
Below are some parts from the Module’s readings list:
1. Understanding State Policy
—This part of the module looks at the politics of development practice. This is not to try to define a correct development model, but rather to look at the power relations that underpin attempts to transform developing societies. Clearly, the state has been a key agent in development practice.

2. Neoliberal Policy and Strategy
—Neoliberalism is a theory based in a desire to liberalise markets. Neoliberals believe that markets forces are the lest worst way to organise resources and indeed societies. Thus, development within the neoliberal worldview is seen largely as a story of market development, competition, and economic openness. This approach has become very strong in the last thirty years.
