“…High levels of state capacity have been a central feature in all successful cases of long-run development witnessed in the post-World War II era, whether in terms of growth (e.g. Evans, 1995;Leftwich, 1995;Vu, 2007;World Bank, 2008), social provisioning (Leftwich, 2008;Walton, 2010) or broader forms of democratic development involving rights and redistribution (Sandbrook et al, 2007). However, and given that states can be highly capable without necessarily being committed to development, the commitment of political elites to delivering development has also proved critical (Booth, 2011;Hossain and Moore, 2001;Leftwich, 1995;Vu, 2007).…”

“…However, since the 1990s we have witnessed in Botswana a challenge to the dominance of the state, ironically initiated by the Botswana state itself. Neoliberal orthodoxies today dominate policy in all major international institutions such as the World Bank, International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Trade Organisation (WTO) (Leftwich 2008), all being institutions that call for a less interventionist state.
