Beyond the Poverty Agenda? Insights from the New Politics of Development in Uganda
分析乌干达等国家发展政治的变化，指出贫困议程被结构性转型计划取代，背后受石油发现、新兴大国影响和国内政治变动驱动，但该国缺乏实施新议程的政治能力。
The politics of development has shifted significantly in recent years, with largely negative implications for the poverty agenda. This is particularly apparent in countries like Uganda where “poverty reduction papers” have been displaced by national development plans aimed at “structural transformation,” driven by the discovery of oil, the growing influence of rising powers vis-à-vis traditional donors and domestic political shifts. Although this heralds the possibility of deeper national ownership over development policy, international financial institutions have adopted strategies to maintain their influence. Moreover, Uganda currently lacks the underlying political capacities and relationships required to roll out this ambitious new agenda.
