Everyday Choices: The Role of Competing Authorities and Social Institutions in Politics and Development
"Everyday Choices" är en bok av professor Ellen Lust, publicerad av Cambridge University Press. Boken beskriver hur politik och utveckling sträcker sig utanför statlig styrning. Individers beslut påverkas också i hög grad av de religiöst och etniskt betingade normer och förväntningar som finns i deras lokalsamhälle.
Sammanfattning på engelska
Scholars and practitioners seek development solutions through the engineering and strengthening of state institutions. Yet, the state is not the only or often even the primary arena shaping how citizens, service providers, and state officials engage in actions that constitute politics and development. These individuals are members of religious orders, ethnic communities, and other groups that make claims about them, creating incentives that shape their actions. Recognizing how individuals experience these claims and view the choices before them is essential to understanding political processes and development outcomes. Taking an institutional approach, this Element explains how the salience of arenas of authority associated with various communities and the nature of social institutions within them affect politics and development. It establishes a framework of politics and development that allows for knowledge accumulation, guides future research, and can facilitate effective programming.
