More about the book
Challenging conventional views on development agencies and research, this book explores the disconnect between what constitutes 'good policy' and its practical implementation. It questions the motivations behind policy-making and examines how policies that seek to gain political support may inadvertently hinder effective action. By analyzing this paradox, the author invites readers to reconsider the relationship between policy formulation and real-world outcomes in the development sector.
