“…No obstante, los intereses electorales pueden estar presentes en otras formas. De la O (2013), por ejemplo, encuentra que las primeras comunidades atendidas por el POP tenían, antes de su implementación, una participación electoral de 5 puntos pocentuales superior y una votación de 3,7 puntos porcentuales mayor por el partido que gobernaba respecto de los municipios atendidos en etapas posteriores. Dado que el uso de información sobre los PTC no descarta que los beneficiarios fueran seleccionados ex ante de acuerdo con criterios electorales, todos los resultados obtenidos presentan un sesgo por variable omitida que sesga los resultados.…”

“…There is a fast-growing literature focusing on the micro-level interaction of social assistance and politics. This literature is country or programme specific (De La O 2006;Giovagnoli 2005;Pellissery 2008;Zucco 2008). There is a scarce literature examining the macro or structural political factors facilitating or restricting social assistance (Hickey 2008b(Hickey , 2009).…”

However, the specifi c ways in which this happens across different types and forms of development, and in different contexts, remains poorly understood. This collection provides a stateof-the-art review regarding what is currently known about the politics of inclusive development. Leading academics offer systematic reviews of how politics shapes development across multiple dimensions, including through growth, natural resource governance, poverty reduction, service delivery, social protection, justice systems, the empowerment of marginalised groups, and the role of both traditional and non-traditional donors. The volume not only provides a comprehensive update but also a ground-breaking range of new directions for thinking and acting around these issues. The book's originality thus derives not only from the wide scope of its case-study material, but also from the new conceptual approaches it offers for thinking about the politics of inclusive development, and the innovative and practical suggestions for donors, policy makers, and practitioners that fl ow from this. 1 The Politics of Inclusive DevelopmentInterrogating the Evidence Links to third party websites are provided by Oxford in good faith and for information only.

“…However, the advent of large scale condi-1 See Stokes et al (2013) for an overview tional cash transfers (CCTs) which either were initially randomized, or which have sharp eligibility thresholds, has led to important opportunities for causal inference and learning about the political effects of these programs. De La O (2013) shows that in Mexico, longer exposure to the Progresa CCT program increased voter turnout and vote share for incumbents, but did not reduce opponent vote share. Labonne (2013) provides evidence that incumbents benefited from a CCT program in the Philippines in municipalities where all villages received the program, compared to municipalities where only half of villages benefited.…”

The Impact of Mass Bed Net Distribution Programs on Politics: Evidence from Tanzania

Many African countries have implemented large donor funded public health programs in the past decade targeting major diseases such as HIV/AIDS and malaria. There is a large literature which examines the effect of these programs on health outcomes, but little is known about their effect on politics. Do politicians gain popularity as a result of these programs? If so, it could suggest the potential for a positive, mutually reinforcing equilibrium, whereby politicians would see delivery of health services as a key way to maintain public support. I exploit the fact that two national bed net distribution campaigns in Tanzania (in 2008-09 and 2010-11) took place at approximately the same time as the 2008-09 and 2010-11 National Panel Surveys. This enables a regression discontinuity design based on survey interview date to estimate the effect of these programs on the approval ratings of local politicians. I find that bed net distribution results in large and statistically significant improvements in the approval levels of a broad range of political leaders. However, this is only true for the 2010 campaign, when all household members (rather than children under 5) were the primary beneficiaries. Moreover, the effect is driven by respondents living in opposition-dominated villages, and by nets delivered in the rainy season, when malaria is a particularly salient problem. Taken together, these findings suggest that citizens are prepared to update their evaluation of their political leaders, especially when they deliver services that are salient and visible, and when this service delivery provides information about the capability of actors, such as opposition party officials, about whom there is limited prior knowledge. * email: kevinjcroke@gmail.com. 677 Huntington Ave, Boston MA 02115.
