"ThePolitics of Inclusive Development is a much-needed corrective to a literaturethat has for too long focused on the hoary antinomies of `state´ versus`market´ or `growth´ versus `development´. In this book, Teichman delivers apowerful statement of the conditions under which truly inclusive developmentare possible. It is a must-read for scholars and practitioners of economicdevelopment alike.” (Prof. Marcus Kurtz, Ohio State University, USA, Author ofFree Market Democracy and the Chilean and Mexican Countryside and LatinAmerican State Building in Comparative Perspective)
"Thiscreative book examines the critically important issue of how countries developinclusive political economies. Teichman mixes theory and empirics, includingboth historical and in-depth contemporary case studies, to assess the politicalunderpinnings of inclusive social development. Importantly, the book highlightsthe important role of the state in triggering synergies between productive developmentand social inclusion.” (Prof. Ken Shadlen, Professor of Development Studies,London School of Economics, UK, and one of the Managing Editors of the Journalof Development Studies)
"In thisimportant book, Judith Teichman lays out an argument that basic politicalagreements are the foundation to support policies that promote employmentgeneration and targeted redistribution as essential means toward equitable,inclusive social development. Whether one agrees or opposes, this lucid,accessible argument stakes out key positions that will inform future debates ongrowth and distribution.” (John Bailey, Emeritus Professor, Department of Governmentand School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University, USA, and Author of ThePolitics of Crime in Mexico: Democratic Governance in a Security Trap)
This book investigates the political conditions and policies most likely to bring about progress toward inclusive development, drawing on in-depth analyses of four cases studies with distinct development trajectories (Mexico, Indonesia, Chile and South Korea). While exclusion and differential inclusion have long been features of development in the Global South, economic globalization has introduced new forms with which Global South countries must grapple. The book highlights the main policy drawbacks of most official approaches: neglect of the need to enhance the role and capacity of states, the focus on certain types of poverty alleviation strategies, and the tendency to disregard the need for productive employment generating activities and rural development. Neglect of issues of power and politics, however, is the most glaring inadequacy. Teichman argues that making progress toward inclusive development is primarily a political struggle. It requires a committed leadership with broadly based societal support - an inclusive development coalition - which includes usually small but politically important middle classes.

This book investigates the political conditions and policies most likely to bring about progress toward inclusive development, drawing on in-depth analyses of four cases studies with distinct development trajectories (Mexico, Indonesia, Chile and South Korea). While exclusion and differential inclusion have long been features of development in the Global South, economic globalization has introduced new forms with which Global South countries must grapple. The book highlights the main policy drawbacks of most official approaches: neglect of the need to enhance the role and capacity of states, the focus on certain types of poverty alleviation strategies, and the tendency to disregard the need for productive employment generating activities and rural development. Neglect of issues of power and politics, however, is the most glaring inadequacy. Teichman argues that making progress toward inclusive development is primarily a political struggle.
