Great divide: politics for the poor has gone out of fashion / Javed, Umair

Javed, Umair	Article

Summary/Abstract

Just before the 2013 general election, a Pakistani film-maker released an ‘on-topic’ political film called Chambaili. It was loosely centered on the narrative being pushed by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan in his election campaign: a crusading group of upper-middle class/upper-class individuals trying to get rid of venal, corrupt political elite through the politics of protest. The film was crassly written, yet it proved to be fairly popular with the suburban cinemagoers.

Great divide? donor perceptions of budget support, eligibility / Molenaers, Nadia

Molenaers, Nadia	Journal Article

Summary/Abstract

Budget Support (bs) has been considered the aid modality that best realises the Paris Declaration principles of alignment, harmonisation and respect for recipient ownership. In design the modality has a very strong technocratic focus, and the oecd/dac has endorsed the idea that bs should be delinked from broader political concerns. In reality, however, donors do use bs to leverage more and better democratic governance. This political use of bs is not limited to exceptional moments when the political situation seriously deteriorates in certain countries. This article shows that such use is grounded in fundamentally different visions and policies that donors hold regarding the scope of leverage for bs. Such starkly diverging interpretations of which reforms bs can 'buy' undermine the objectives the modality was designed to achieve.
