When it shall be said in any country in the world, ‘My poor are happy; neither ignorance nor distress is to be found among them; my jails are empty of prisoners, my streets of beggars; the aged are not in want, the taxes are not oppressive’—when these things can be said, then may that country boast of its constitution and its government.

Thomas Paine, The Rights of Man

[T]he most dangerous moment for a bad government is usually that when it enters upon the work of reform. Nothing short of great political genius can save a sovereign who undertakes to relieve his subjects after a long period of oppression. The evils which were endured with patience so long as they were inevitable seem intolerable as soon as a hope can be entertained of escaping from them. The abuses which are removed seem to lay bare those which remain, and to render the sense of them more acute; the evil has decreased, it is true, but the perception of the evil is more keen...

Alexis de Tocqueville, The Old Regime and the French Revolution

It is not, after all, standing outside the social order in some excited state of self-regard that makes a political leader numinous but a deep, intimate involvement—affirming or abhorring, defensive or destructive—in the master fictions by which that order lives.

Clifford Geertz, Local Knowledge: Further Essays in Interpretative Anthropology

The single most common source of leadership failure…in politics, community life, business or the nonprofit sector…is that people, especially those in positions of authority, treat adaptive challenges like technical problems.

Ronald Heifetz and Marty Linsky, Leadership on the Line

STM-102 Spring 2006

Over and above the overt purpose of my work—the analysis of development and the advice on policy—I came to see it as having the latent, hidden, but overriding common intent to celebrate, to “sing” the epic adventure of development—its challenge, drama, and grandeur.

Albert Hirschman, Preface to Development Projects Observed

I. Description

Responding effectively to both crises and opportunities in development entails crafting coherent and supportable strategies, the key elements of which can be construed as technocratic (smart ‘policies’), bureaucratic (standardized ‘programs’), and idiosyncratic (context-specific ‘practices’)—hence the title of this class. The optimal form and combination of these elements is likely to change over time and across sectors, with correspondingly different skills-sets, resources, and political dynamics needing to be carefully managed, especially in response to imperatives to produce, expand, and replicate ‘successful’ examples. Focusing specifically on development strategies that seek to incorporate social institutions (kinship systems, informal networks, community organizations) to improve risk management, local conflict mediation, and service delivery in poor communities, this course explores the conceptual, empirical, and practical foundations on which to think about designing, implementing, monitoring, and evaluating such strategies. A strong emphasis is placed on (and assessment is geared towards) developing the ability to: (a) procure, integrate, analyze, and interpret data from different sources and levels of quality; (b) communicate with diverse audiences (scholars, practitioners, and the general public); and (c) understand how coalitions of actors and political forces shape the nature and extent of support for (and/or resistance to) reform within organizations, and in front-line operations.

II. Objectives

Upon completion of this course, students should be able to:

Appreciate the importance of different types of decision-making and problem-solving skills for improving development effectiveness

Analyze how social institutions shape risk management (survival and mobility), conflict mediation, and service delivery strategies in poor communities

Articulate a range of options for assessing the efficacy of social development projects Identify ways in which development theory, research and policy from different disciplinary and

sectoral perspectives can be coherently and usefully integrated Incorporate evidence from primary, secondary and web-based sources, and clearly communicate their

ideas to different types of audiences Apply different perspectives to the design, implementation, and evaluation of development policies,

programs, projects, and practices.

III. Format

STM-102 is a three-hour graduate-level survey course; it is a required class for MPA/ID1s, though a selected number of additional students (approximately 20) from across the Kennedy School will also be admitted. I will give a summary lecture for the first 80 minutes on the topic of the week, which will be followed, after a short break, by an hour-long presentation and class discussion led by a small group of students. Their task will be to apply the general lessons emerging from the readings and class discussion to a particular development project in a low-income country, with a focus on how these lessons have influenced (or not) the design, implementation, and evaluation of a specific development project focusing on social institutions. Remaining class time will be spent reflecting on the issues raised by the lecture,

readings, and student presentation, and their implications for development theory and practice. On two occasions during the semester we will also have guest lecturers speak on specific topics. STM-102 shares some similarities with, but is not the same as, its predecessor and companion class, PED-308: Social Institutions and Economic Development (not offered in 2005-06).

IV. Expectations of Students

As a graduate class in development theory, research, and practice, STM-102 assumes students bring a capacity to wrestle with abstract ideas, to marshal evidence from a variety of sources, and to apply these ideas and evidence to concrete and (often) complex policy problems in the developing world. It has no formal prerequisites, but students are expected to be conversant with the major theories, issues, and policy debates in international development (at a level comparable to that outlined in PED-101). Particular emphasis will be placed on integrating different methodological and theoretical perspectives from across the social sciences. Accordingly, students trained in a particular discipline (e.g., economics) are expected to be willing to be open to the insights and vocabulary of alternative approaches. Students are expected to attend class each week (learning from each other, and harnessing our diverse backgrounds, is a key feature of the Kennedy School environment), to arrive on time, to have completed the weekly readings, to stay for the duration of the session, and to have cell phones and internet connections turned off. Students should inform the instructor and one of the CAs if they know in advance that they will be absent.

Readings will be drawn from the works of scholars, policymakers and practitioners, and students will be assessed on their capacity to respond to and communicate with the different audiences each represents. To this end, final grades will be awarded on the basis of the quality of three papers (one each for academic, applied, and general readers), a group presentation, and attendance and participation.

V. Grading

1. Class Attendance and Participation (15%)

2. Group Presentation (20%)

Three essays, one for each type of audience:

3. Short Paper for a general, academic, or policy audience (15%)

4. Medium Paper for a general, academic, or policy audience (20%)

5. Long Paper for a general, academic, or policy audience (30%)

Students are to select the audience for items 3, 4, and 5 according to their interests and aspirations, though one from each category must be completed over the course of the semester. Separate handouts will be provided outlining details of requirements and suggested topics for each paper.

Students—especially those for whom English is not their primary language—are strongly encouraged to use the CAs to help with the structure and content of their essays. I consider clear writing to be a vital professional skill, and will grade your papers accordingly. You should also work closely with the CAs to design the content and sequencing of material for your student presentation (see separate handout). The distribution of final grades will be awarded in accordance with the Dean’s guidelines.

Week 9 (April 7): Problems & Solutions 4: Change – Transitions and Transformations, Great and Small

The very word ‘development’ implies a transition from one institutional state to another, but how can such political, economic, and social transitions be better understood? Why are transitions so often actively resisted (when the ‘benefits’ appear clear)? How can development organizations be changed when their mission and/or tasks require it? How can coalitions—between state, business, and civil society actors—be forged to manage transitions more equitably and effectively?
