“…Each PRSP receives a score for each social protection policy; there are 24 individual policies that form the SPI. The scorecard method is a quantitative evaluation of PRSP policy content, previously used by Bojo and Reddy () Eggen and Bezemer (2008) and Sapkota (). Although the method involves subjective judgements with clear specifications, it is considered sufficiently sound to provide reliable and transparent judgments to evaluate policies that determine paradigm alignment in the PRSP, by condensing information in a practical way that allows for clear interpretation (Bojo & Reddy, ).…”

Social protection and equity are missing elements of the Millennium Development Goals. Both are essential to redress the situation of the most vulnerable. This study provides a comprehensive review of social protection packages in Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers and devises an index to evaluate the extent of a country's level of social protection in its development strategy. The findings show that the social protection agenda in Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers is more pronounced in countries with higher levels of income and lower levels of ethnic diversity and that social assistance packages are more aligned to higher levels of official development assistance and governance.

“…For the derivation of the social protection index refer to Elkins (2014). A scorecard approach is adopted which provides a quantitative evaluation of PRSP policy content, previously used by Bojo and Reddy (2002), Eggen and Bezemer (2008) and Sapkota (2011). Although the method involves subjective judgments it is considered sufficiently reliable to provide transparent judgments to evaluate policies that determine paradigm alignment in the PRSP, by condensing information in a practical way that allows for clear interpretation.…”

With almost 15 years passing since their introduction, quantitative evaluations of Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs) have been surprisingly sparse. This paper examines whether a PRSP impacts on poverty reduction and well-being and whether PRSP alignment to development paradigms impacts upon the achievement of these outcomes. Specifically, it estimates the causal effect of having a PRSP on various targets of the United Nations' Millennium Development Goals. The sample is composed of a treatment group consisting of 51 developing countries undertaking PRSPs and 62 control countries determined through propensity score matching techniques, over the period 1999 to 2008. Results suggest that countries under PRSP treatment have achieved better well-being outcomes than those in the control group. PRSP alignment to different development paradigms is also shown to matter.

“…Globalization has become the term of the moment. Over the last 20 years the social science discipline has been fascinated by the processes of globalization within a given society (Sapkota, 2011;Gaulier, 2007;Guillaume et al, 2007;Kirby, 2006;Temin, 1999). The key functions that formulate the powers of globalization are conceptualized into four distinct processes: 1) economic; 2) political; 3) social; and 4) cultural.…”

Globalization Impacts on Chinese Politics and Urbanization

The aim of this paper is to critically explore the complex debates on the contemporary growth of China's urban economies. It has been well documented that China is the second largest economy in the world and is seen to be a major player in the financial markets. Over the last decade China has experienced a dramatic urban transformation and globalization is a key factor in the change in China from Maoist production cities to Dengist cities of consumption, albeit with a strong export-oriented production element. As this paper will argue, without the impact of Globalization, the recent development of China as a key economic power could not have taken place. The findings of this research revealed however, that the Chinese State has also played a key role, intertwined as it is with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
