“…The twin imperatives of integration into global governance frameworks and of responsiveness to local communities, seemingly hollow out governmental action, as they effectively restrict practical and political options 149 . Indeed, many argue that ownership and participation are simply cosmetic processes 150 , an articulation of US-led imperialism and its neoliberal agenda 151 .…”

Placing Borders in Development

Development is inextricably related to the state-centred cartography of world spaces defined by borders, both in its historical trajectory and contemporary entanglements. Yet the multiplicity of channels and directions characterising their articulation are scarcely explored. This article contributes to this emerging field of enquiry. It delineates the essential traits of the borders and development nexus by establishing a systematic dialogue between the fields of Border Studies and Development Studies, a dialogue framed by concerns with scalar politics. More specifically, the paper places borders in development in two ways. First, it places borders in Development Studies: it identifies borders as a useful analytical vantage point that lay at the intersection between state-and non-state centred geographies of development. Second, it places Border Studies in development: focusing on the tension between borders and bordering processes, it interrogates economic growthand poverty-related policies. Three contributions to the study of development arising from placing borders in development in this way are highlighted. The paper also expands the emerging field of enquiry concerned with the relation between borders and development, by considering development policies not yet been examined through the prism of borders, and by emphasising the hierarchical and yet unpredictable nature of the borders and development articulation. At its broadest, the discussion dis-entangles the multiplicity of scales and directions in which borders, bordering and the development process intersect. It is at this scalar intersection that the force of development, and the potentials for engaging, opposing, avoiding, or subverting it, lay. IntroductionConcerns with space and the spatiality of social relations emerged more than forty years ago at the margins of radical social theory, but are now de rigueur across the social sciences. Development Studies is no exception: contemporary academic work and policy-making documents use an extensive spatial imaginary and vocabulary, as they (more or less casually) deploy terms such as "horizontal and vertical" inequalities, cross-border "flows", "de-/re-territorialisation", or "de-/rebordering". In line with the objectives of this Special Issue, the following pages engage with these scalar concerns, as they investigate the complex spatiality of development though the prism of borders.In particular, the paper delineates the essential traits of the borders and development nexus by establishing a systematic dialogue between the fields of Border Studies and Development Studies, a dialogue framed by a concern with scalar politics. In order to harness the potentialities offered by the intersection between these two fields, the following discussion places borders in development, in two ways. First, it places borders in Development Studies: that is, it examines contemporary development's discourses, policies and practices, to locate borders at the scalar intersection of development processes that unfold ...

“…The literature abounds with examples of the poor themselves voicing their concern about environmental sustainability. Craig and Porter (2003) cite the volatility of the livelihoods of the poor because of their vulnerability to environmental calamities, while Participatory Poverty Assessments (PPAs) are filled with environmental concerns (Brocklesby and Hinshelwood, 2001).…”

“…The (cosmetic) inclusion of the poor in the PRSP process does not guarantee a thorough analysis of the political economy of poverty and inequality in the eventual PRSP document; this points to the duplicity of the whole participation discourse (Craig and Porter, 2003).…”

“…(1996: 58) The Third Way, for instance, brought the British left closer to the conservative views that had prevailed in the United Kingdom for almost two decades. Likewise, it can be argued that the new consensus on development -a sort of "Global Third Way" -has moved the more progressive United Nations institutions toward the more conservative "Bretton Woods" financial organizations, without making the latter change as much (Craig and Porter, 2003;Thérien, forthcoming).…”

The New Global Politics of Poverty

In recent years, governments, international institutions, and a broad array of social movements have converged around what an OECD report has described as an emerging "global anti-poverty consensus." This new global social policy agenda has changed the terms of the debate between the left and the right, and redefined the world of policy possibilities, in global but also in domestic politics. This article proposes a constructivist interpretation of this multi-scale shift in discourse, and discusses the political and policy implications of the new global politics of poverty.
