PDF-(EBOOK)-The Anti-Politics Machine: Development, Depoliticization, and Bureaucratic Power

Development it is generally assumed is good and necessary and in its name the West has intervened implementing all manner of projects in the impoverished regions of the world When these projects fail as they do with astonishing regularity they nonetheless produce a host of regular and unacknowledged effects including the expansion of bureaucratic state power and the translation of the political realities of poverty and powerlessness into technical problems awaiting solution by development agencies and experts It is the political intelligibility of these effects along with the process that produces them that this book seeks to illuminate through a detailed case study of the workings of the development industry in one country Lesotho and in one development projectUsing an anthropological approach grounded in the work of Foucault James Ferguson analyzes the institutional framework within which such projects are crafted and the nature of development discourse revealing how it is that despite all the expertise that goes into formulating development projects they nonetheless often demonstrate a startling ignorance of the historical and political realities of the locale they are intended to help In a close examination of the attempted implementation of the ThabaTseka project in Lesotho Ferguson shows how such a misguided approach plays out how in fact the development apparatus in Lesotho acts as an antipolitics machine everywhere whisking political realities out of sight and all the while performing almost unnoticed its own preeminently political operation of strengthening the state presence in the local regionJames Ferguson is an associate professor of anthropology at the University of California at Irvine. did the social planner go?

Eric Brose traces the industrial development of machinery and its application to infantry, cavalry, and artillery tactics. He examines the modernity versus anti-modernity debate that raged after the Franco-Prussian war, arguing that the residue of years of resistance to technological change seriously undermined the German army during World War I.
