One reason, Robert Klitgaard argues in this pathbreaking book, is that the strategies don't take cultural diversity into account. Gently but firmly, he shows how and why anthropology and cultural studies have not been effectively applied. But it need not be so. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Culture and Development Manifesto\u003c\/em\u003e shows how to mobilize knowledge from and for the disadvantaged, the indigenous, and the voiceless. Looking beyond interactions between cultural contexts and particular projects, Klitgaard seeks new ways to think about goals, new kinds of alternatives, new and perhaps hybrid ways to implement or resist, and, as a result, new kinds of politics. In short, this remarkable book fundamentally re-envisions what development policy can be.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Klitgaard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0197517749\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780197517741\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/18\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Robert Klitgaard","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43982957543679,"sku":"9780197517741","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_570f1010-0408-442a-9b7b-96de8dabae21.jpg?v=1683263892","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-culture-and-development-manifesto-robert-klitgaard-9780197517741","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
