State Building and Social Policies in Developing Countries: The Political Economy of Development

by Rashed Al Mahmud Titumir

Overview

This book moves away from the orthodox neoliberal paradigm to suggest a new framework linking social policy with citizenship and transformation. The interjection of nation-building, public society and public provisioning to the study of education, healthcare and employment caters to the needs of citizens equitably.
