INDEX 235
Recent
years have seen a dramatic shift in the fight against global poverty.
A smaller, grass-roots approach has grown more prevalent, nearly replac¬
ing the traditional big-picture approach. Yet despite this movement, consensus
on what works for growth and development remains elusive. Thinking big
approaches focus on
macroeconomic
policies, growth strategies, and other
country-level factors, while thinking small mind-sets utilize conditional cash
transfers, bed nets, and other microlevel improvements on a smaller scale.
In What Works in Development? Jessica Cohen and William Easterly bring
together world-renowned development analysts to examine both schools of
thought. Why is the big-picture approach in crisis? What are the merits and
drawbacks of the randomized evaluations used in analyzing the micropolicy
approach? In asking these questions, the contributors attempt to explain what
policy has worked in the past, with an eye toward what is likely to work in
the future.
