Download Promoting Civic Action in Less Developed Nations Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
In its efforts to promote innovations among the host-country military in the less developed nations, the U.S. military mission may not be able to function effectively in the role of expert advisor because the military system of the host country may lack many of the characteristics necessary for adopting innovations. Under such conditions it is more fruitful to think of the mission's role as helping develop the conditions under which the innovations will be adopted. This role is particularly appropriate for the mission's efforts to promote civic action (conceived as the development of people's capacities) in countries where the military's acceptance of civic action as one of their main functions constitutes a radial social innovation. Mission responsibilities in the performance of this role are outlined and some implications of the concepts proposed are offered. (Author).

Download Enabling Environments for Civic Engagement in PRSP Countries Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
It is now increasingly recognized that, alongside the state and the market, civil society is a critical factor in determining the level, pace and equity of a country's economic, social and political development. Civic engagement is the participation of private actors in the public sphere, conducted through direct and indirect interactions of civil society organizations and citizens-at-large with government, multilateral institutions and business establishments to influence decision making or pursue common goals. It is a process that organizes citizens or their entrusted representatives to "influence, shape and control public affairs and development initiatives, implementation and resources. Under the right conditions civic engagement can promote development and improve the economic and social conditions of the poor. How civil society can maximize its potential in alleviating poverty and promoting social accountability, and what types of laws, regulations, governance and cultural norms are needed to create the most conducive environment in which civil society operates, is less well understood.

Download Making Politics Work for Development Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Governments fail to provide the public goods needed for development when its leaders knowingly and deliberately ignore sound technical advice or are unable to follow it, despite the best of intentions, because of political constraints. This report focuses on two forces—citizen engagement and transparency—that hold the key to solving government failures by shaping how political markets function. Citizens are not only queueing at voting booths, but are also taking to the streets and using diverse media to pressure, sanction and select the leaders who wield power within government, including by entering as contenders for leadership. This political engagement can function in highly nuanced ways within the same formal institutional context and across the political spectrum, from autocracies to democracies. Unhealthy political engagement, when leaders are selected and sanctioned on the basis of their provision of private benefits rather than public goods, gives rise to government failures. The solutions to these failures lie in fostering healthy political engagement within any institutional context, and not in circumventing or suppressing it. Transparency, which is citizen access to publicly available information about the actions of those in government, and the consequences of these actions, can play a crucial role by nourishing political engagement.
