Reversing Poverty : The Role of Institutions, State Capacity and Human EmpowermentBlackmore, Sansia 31 July 2020 (has links)
The study explores the fundamental causes of poverty persistence, which remains a central challenge of the modern world. In theory, rising political participation operationalises checks on state predation and cultivates development-enabling state capacity. This did not materialise in post-colonial sub-Saharan Africa. The theoretical foundation of this premise is further brought into question by the development achievements of strong, capable non-democracies. The study uses a dynamic, panel-data model to explore a probabilistic development hypothesis that fuses broad institutionalism with modernisation and human empowerment. The model relies on regime-independent state capacity to trigger the transformational impetus of rising existential security, autonomy and individual agency. Ensuing shifts in societal value orientations towards emancipative mindsets then drive the progression towards prosperity. The results show that the poor-country deficit in human empowerment, represented by mind-broadening education and emancipative values, dwarfs the shortfalls in all other drivers of prosperity, including exports and investment. The findings rule against geography and democracy as direct drivers of prosperity. / Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2020. / National Research Foundation (NRF) / Economics / PhD / Unrestricted

Indien Demokratisering : En fallstudie om vägen mot ett demokratiskt samhälleJohansson, Viktor January 2022 (has links)
This qualitative case study aims to explain the cause behind India's unique and in some aspect’s deviant democratization process. Due to the abstinence of a clear official date for Indian democratic transition, a time between the year of 1947 during the time of its independence and the year of 1975 has been chosen for the specific study. The theoretical foundation is based on the theory of civil society and the economic theory, also known as the modernization theory, based on the works of Martin Seymour Lipset. India's democratic transition is deeply connected to the struggle for independence which has roots back in the colonial period. The Indian civil society would see significant mobilization during the first decades of the 20th century and would play a major role in both during the independence movement as well as the initiator of the nation's democratization process.The modernization theory would prove to not be as significant as the civil society. Based on the low level of overall economic development a democratic transition depending on the nation's economic development or modernization would seem improbable.
