Product Description
Review
"A provocative, but highly accurate analysis of the implementation of World Bank country assistance programmes in various Southeast Asian developing countries. This book is a must read for anyone interested in the evolution of contemporary multilateral development policies."
- Wil Hout, Professor of Governance and International Political Economy, International Institute of Social Studies, Erasmus University Rotterdam, the Netherlands
'Toby Carroll's study explores the intriguing proposition that the pursuit of liberal markets has required the entrenchment of illiberal politics… It is an argument that draws out the 'political technologies' involved in building the market state and the idea that notions of 'participation' and 'inclusion' turn out, under closer scrutiny, to be instruments for co-opting and neutralising potential opponents. This is a book that comes with an impressive grasp of the complexities of the development debate across the ideological spectrum and a command of the broader theoretical ideas about the relationship of state, society and market that are embedded in them.'

Product Description
Delusions of Development looks at the World Bank's promotion of market-led development in the underdeveloped world and its impact upon citizenship. Using case studies from Southeast Asia, the author details the way in which the Bank, frustrated by earlier efforts, has established a new approach to development that seeks to constitute market society.. However, rather than expanding the representation of the poor, the Bank's mission is actually designed to constrain politics in the interests of implementing a new institutional market order. The mission, therefore, is subjected to political forces which continue to render the neoliberal project of establishing an idealised notion of market society an impossible mission.
