7 Neo-Orthodoxy No development management- development programs are “bad” Can’t make planning better Neo-Orthodoxy and privatization

11 Failures of Development Planning A Problem: The limits on political compromise and local level autonomy Failure of Development and the limits of the econometric model Failure of planning blamed on weak planning and administrative capacity Planning was a “shopping list”

13 PICARD “Unpaid Editorial”

14 The Problem (1): Bad Planning and Foreign Aid 1. Bureaucrats/practitioners ignored development theories & ideas 2. LDC Development Institutes were largely irrelevant as training centers-- donors used overseas training 3. International Organizations (IMF and World Bank) promoted Programs that were unworkable.

15 The Foreign Aid Meeting

16 The Problem (2) Development administration did little to deal with issues of population control, food production and rural development Foreign aid was little more than a front for foreign policy
