Arne Rückert (Research Proposal – Carleton University): [Excerpt]
The introduction of the PRSP process could be understood as an attempt by the IFIs to (re-)produce the hegemony of neoliberal capitalism in the developing world. Through the PRSP process, the IFIs have absorbed counter-hegemonic ideas – such as civil society participation and pro-poor growth– into the mainstream discourse and have integrated those local political elites and CSOs that are critical of structural adjustment, into the development policy dialogue. Whether this attempt of co-optation has been successful, or whether the PRSP process has actually opened up space for the contestation of neoliberal policies in Nicaragua and Bolivia will be the concern of the empirical investigation.
