Produktinformationen zu „Political Settlements and Development (ePub)“
Few concepts have captured the imagination of the conflict and development community in recent years as powerfully as the idea of a 'political settlement'. At its most ambitious, 'political settlements analysis' (PSA) promises to explain why conflicts occur and states collapse, the conditions for their successful rehabilitation, different developmental pathways from peace, and how to better fit development policy to country context. Yet not all is well in the world
of PSA. Rival definitions of the term abound, there are disagreements about its scope and the way it should be used, a growing schism between conflict specialists and economists, basic concepts are ambiguous and little progress has been made on measurement. Political Settlements and Development
consequently has three main aims: to argue for a revised definition of a political settlement, capable of unifying its diverse strands, and opening new opportunities for the analysis of conflict and development; to put the concept on a more solid theoretical and scientific footing, providing a method for measuring and categorising political settlements, while using new data to analyse the relationship between political settlements and development; and finally, to examine the implications for
policymakers.

Previously, he taught politics and development at the Universities of Oxford and Newcastle and was an editor of the journal, African Affairs.
Nicolai Schulz is a postdoctoral researcher at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. His research triangulates quantitative with qualitative methods to study the political economy of development. Until recently, he worked as a research associate at the University of Manchester together with Tim Kelsall leading the effort to quantify political settlements through a large-scale expert survey. He received a PhD from LSE's Department of International Development for his thesis on the political
economy of export bans and commodity processing in Africa, which won the second place in the 2020 UK Doctoral Researcher Awards.
William D. Ferguson is the Gertrude B. Austin Professor of Economics at Grinnell College. His current research focuses on institutional political economy of development, with attention to collective-action problems as an analytical lens, using game-theoretic logic. He discussed the manuscript for his 2013 book with the late Elinor Ostrom, while visiting the IU Ostrom workshop. Prior research concerns theory of implicit bargaining power in employment relationships. His current classes include
political economy, applied game theory, labour economics, and policy analysis. He is past Secretary-Treasurer of the Midwest Economics Association and chair and (key) founder of Grinnell's Policy Studies
