  1. Post-Washington governance? Emerging unorthodoxies Prof. Graham Harrison Department of Politics University of Sheffield, UK g.harrison@sheffield.ac.uk SOAS Governance for Development Workshop Addis Ababa 26-31 March 2012

  2. Aims of the presentation • To explore the room to manoeuvre in global political economy • To identify unorthodox policy innovation • To open up potential new political trends in governance

  3. The orthodoxy • Liberalisation • PRSP • Governance states

  4. Emerging tensions • Global economic crisis • China, India and others • Enduring and resurgent nationalisms • Intellectual debates • High growth rates, weak poverty response, evidence of worsening inequality • Resurgent modernisation thinking

  5. Emerging unorthodoxies • Within PRSP: Uganda’s UPE, strategic privatisation, Tanzania and water privatisation • Acts of rebellion: Mali banned rice imports, Zambia bans GM maize imports, Malawi introduces agrarian crop price support and grain stock strategy, Zambia’s cash transfer scheme, Mozambique and sugar • State-capital relations: holding companies, party companies, networks, conglomerates

  6. The politics of unorthodoxy • Developmentalism: transformative production, medium-term, socially-minded? • Nationalism • Patrimonialism: centralised, systematic, regulatory, medium-term • International context: shifting balances of power: • ‘5+ percenters’ • pluralised global political economy

  7. Prospects • ‘Getting the production right’ (Deborah Brautigam) • Mechanisms though which policies become ideas (Manuela Moschella) • ‘Pockets of efficiency’? • ‘Southern consensus’ (Charles Gore)? Post-neoliberal Latin America? China? India? • Resource sovereignty • Development as legitimacy… or survival
