Cartographers, Conciliators and Catalysts: Understanding the Communicative Roles of Researchers

A review of case studies from a global, ten-year research project coordinated by the Institute of Development Studies suggests that previous efforts to understand the value of research for promoting social change has underappreciated the contribution of researchers as social actors. Researchers inhabit a complex web of relations, they hold many identities, and they act politically to bring about social change in ways large and small that go beyond what they write in journals or in policy briefs. Through interviews and self-reflection, we explored some of these ways – formal and informal, direct and indirect – that researchers communicate their knowledge. To capture some of the diversity, this article presents a typology of different ‘roles’ that researchers play as communicators. We hope this typology might help to clarify our understanding of research utilisation, and might also provide insight into how to approach research communication in more strategic and creative ways.

Food for Thought: Exploring the Right to Food in Theory and Practice

The Fight for the Right to Food: Lessons Learned is written by the first United Nations (UN) Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food and his team at the Research Unit on the Right to Food, which was founded in 2001 at the Graduate Institute of Development Studies in Geneva with the remit of providing research support to the Special Rapporteur in collaboration with staff at the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR). The book documents the work undertaken by the first Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food during his eight-year mandate and combines legal, theoretical and conceptual ideas of the right to food with an operational understanding of the right in practice. Although there have been a number of notable texts published previously on the human right to food (see Kent, 2005; Eide and Kracht (eds), 2005), this book is important as it offers more than a discussion of the legal provisions for the right to food: the authors not only examine the right to food under human rights law, but explore the wider context in which the right to food operates. This includes an essential examination of the concept of food security and its relationship with the right to food as well as analysing the impact of international political and economic phenomena, such as globalization, international trade liberalization and armed conflict, on the realization of the right.

Introduction: Social Protection for Social Justice

The articles in this IDS Bulletin are drawn from a conference hosted by the Centre for Social Protection at the Institute of Development Studies (IDS), Brighton, UK, in April 2011. The conference brought together academics and practitioners who understand social protection to be more than a palliative agenda for alleviating poverty and vulnerability, believing instead that social protection should be fundamentally interested in realising economic and social rights for all. This alternative agenda is one grounded in social justice, and it opens space for understanding how issues of rights, governance, distribution and access are critical for breaking the production and reproduction of vulnerability over time. The selection of articles in this IDS Bulletin aims to elaborate the linkages between social protection and social justice, to identify opportunities for operationalising the ‘transformative’ aspects of social protection and to strengthen the case for integrating social protection into broader social policy.

100 Voices: Southern NGO Perspectives on the Millennium Development Goals and Beyond

Debates are beginning to evolve on what might form the next generation of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The post‐2015 debate stands to be a ‘lightning rod’ for fundamental questions of what development is about, and how to make it happen. In light of this, the Catholic Agency for Overseas Development (CAFOD) and the Institute of Development Studies (IDS) conducted over 100 interviews with Southern non‐governmental organisations (NGOs) to collate reflections on the MDGs to date and how any MDGs 2.0 might reimagine development.

Zimbabwe's land reform: myths & realities

Ten years after the land invasions of 2000, this book provides the first full account of the consequences of these dramatic events. This land reform overturned a century-old pattern of land use, one dominated by a small group of large-scale commercial farmers, many of whom were white. But what replaced it? This book challenges five myths through the examination of the field data from Masvingo province: Myth 1 Zimbabwean land reform has been a total failure Myth 2 The beneficiaries of Zimbabwean land reform have been largely political 'cronies' Myth 3 There is no investment in the new resettlements Myth 4 Agriculture is in complete ruins creating chronic food insecurity Myth 5 The rural economy has collapsed By challenging these myths, and suggesting alternative policy narratives, this book presents the story as it has been observed on the ground: warts and all. What comes through very strongly is the complexity, the differences, almost farm by farm: there is no single, simple story of the Zimbabwe land reform as sometimes assumed by press reports, political commentators, or indeed much academic study.

The Living Conditions of the Palestine Refugees Registered with UNRWA in Jordan, Lebanon, the Syrian Arab Republic, the Gaza Strip and the West Bank

This synthesis report is based on eleven thematic reports: one presenting the methodology of the study, and ten dealing with the living conditions of the Palestine refugees. Written by various authors, the reports analyse the results of the surveys undertaken in the summer of 2005 in the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East’s (UNRWA’s) five fields of operation. The surveys were carried out under the auspices of the IUED (The Graduate Institute of Development Studies at the University of Geneva) and the UCL (The Institute of Development Studies at the Catholic University of Louvain). The synthesis report highlights the research strategies and theoretical assumptions adopted in the thematic reports, key empirical findings of the surveys taking into account crosscutting linkages, and policy-relevant research implications. On a few occasions, further analysis was conducted in order to enrich the analysis and stress results outlined in the thematic reports. As well, the synthesis report is used to contextualise the findings, where possible, by comparing the survey data to available national data of the host authorities.

Book review: Taming the Anarchy: Groundwater Governance in South Asia, by Tushaar Shah (RFF Press, 2008)

Tushaar Shah—a development economist and senior fellow at the International Water Management Institute, IWMI—has written an excellent and timely book (Shah 2008). In stylish and well-argued prose, he deconstructs the dominant view of irrigation and groundwater management through a close examination of their status and recent history in South Asia, and in particular in his native India. (IWMI staff continue to develop the line of research: e.g. Mukherji et al. (2009) appear to have taken some of these ideas forward for the Indo-Gangetic and the Yellow River basins.) From the hydrogeologist’s viewpoint “Taming the Anarchy” is interesting especially because Shah draws on and integrates ideas from different disciplines, but particularly the socio-economic sphere, to enlighten the debate. He proposes that the orthodox technocratic view must be leavened with an understanding of the welfare outcomes produced by groundwater irrigation and the threats to those outcomes that would be produced if the resource were to fail. He further postulates that water-sector professionals and political leaders must re-cast their view of what is feasible in managing that resource, by taking a wider view of the socio-economic factors that currently stymie most efforts to improve it. A telling example that he provides is the cooption of political leaders in hard-rock areas of India by the strong “vote bank” of the smallholder farming community, so that even where cheap electricity for pumping is fuelling the race to the bottom of these lowyielding aquifers (a race that is everywhere recognised as unsustainable), elected leaders continue to provide and to promise subsidised electricity rates for irrigation. In Shah’s view, South Asian irrigation is peculiar in that the groundwater pumping boom is driven not so much by lack of water as by lack of farmland. The increasing rural population densities push farmers to intensify production and produce high value crops, and this requires water. The advent of modern pumps and the consequent explosion in the number of small groundwater abstractions are direct results. Shah characterises the informal and uncontrolled nature of the modern irrigation economies of South Asia by the phrase “atomistic individualism”. This is contrasted with the orthodox view of national and international agencies, which assume that groundwater abstractions can be controlled by a centralised authority that formally manages water distribution rather in the way that the large-scale surface-irrigation projects of the colonial era were conceived. For Shah, “taming the anarchy” in the manner that might be envisaged by a hydrogeologist will only be possible over several decades. In the interim, he proposes that South Asia must chart an innovative course that recognises the variability in the irrigation economies that have developed in response to different hydrological settings. This is the only way to provide a framework for the exploitation of the region’s aquifers that will at least avoid the worst environmental excesses and at the same time prevent a collapse of the hundreds of millions of dependent farming livelihoods. Shah notes that “Governing an informal economy is a contradiction in terms” (p. 203), and that there is no possibility that the “atomistic” nature of South Asian irrigation will be formalised soon. He contends correctly that there is little connection between the reality of local water economies and reforms to policy and regulation borne out of the international discourse on integrated water-resources management (see, for example, the Global Water Partnership website – GWP 2008). Given the huge numbers of abstractors involved, there is no realistic way for centralised controls to be implemented and policed. Indirect management strategies must therefore be used, which impact the “environment of conduct” (e.g. electricity prices) rather than the conduct itself (water pumping). (In a recent paper on effective and accountable public authority in poor countries, the Institute of Development Studies (IDS 2010) similarly concludes that “instead of viewing informal arrangements as a major part of the governance problem, they could also be part of the solution”.)

Building capacity: Science in the developing world

On 15 June 2010 Innovation, Sustainability, Development: A New Manifesto was launched at the Royal Society in London. This manifesto was written by the Social, Technological and Environmental Pathways to Sustainability (STEPS) Centre. The STEPS Centre is based in both the Institute of Development Studies and the Science Policy Research Unit at the University of Sussex. The new manifesto, as its name suggests, builds on the work of an ‘old’ manifesto known as the Sussex Manifesto. Commissioned by the United Nations as part of its Plan of Action for Science and Development for the ‘Second UN Development Decade’, i.e. the 1970s, the Sussex Manifesto was published in 1969.

Introduction: Intergenerational Transmissions: Cultivating Children's Agency?

anniversary of the IDS Bulletin would have reviewed the last four decades of publications and re-presented their most influential messages. The IDS Bulletin is, indeed, reflective for it considers and builds on some of the core areas of research and policy advocacy that have, over the years, become central to the work of the Institute of Development Studies (IDS): inequalities, poverty, power, social protection, transformational education, HIV/AIDS, gender, and climate change. However, the IDS Bulletin is, perhaps, best described as forward-looking, since it applies these issues to studies of the future, specifically the future of our children. It is forward-looking, too, in documenting emerging work – on and with children – that is occurring across the disciplines within IDS, as well as select strands of comparable work that are being developed outside the Institute. The IDS Bulletin explores a common theme that links these multidisciplinary areas of research: the question of intergenerational transmissions (IGTs) and, specifically, whether and how states, societies, development actors and parents, among others, are building the conditions under which children can imagine and realise better futures.

The paper adopts a critical human security approach relating personal and community security with emancipatory development. The paper details this approach and relates it to challenges of health security and specifically to HIV/AIDS. The paper focuses upon young people as a particularly high risk population. It addresses these challenges in Thailand and China. The paper introduces an on-going study into HIV/AIDS at community level in Chiang Mai and Kunming. It concludes that, for more effective responses, it is necessary to engage communities in policy development and promote peer-group implementation.

The Role of Gender in Economic Activities with Special Reference to Women’s Participation and Empowerment in Rural Bangladesh

Bangladesh is known as a predominantly male-dominated society with traditional and religious beliefs that restrict women’s mobility and participation in economic and social activities. This article is based on national rural representative household-level data collected in 1987 and 2000 from 62 villages in Bangladesh jointly conducted by the International Rice Research Institute and Bangladesh Institute of Development Studies. First, this article depicts patterns of women’s work and analyzes the factors that influence the gender division of labor. Second, a women empowerment index is developed from the 2000 survey data on intra-household decision-making in different spheres, and its relationship with women’s work is then explored. The persistent gender division of labor in rural Bangladesh has been found to be associated with both economic and socio-cultural factors. Rural economic activities within the household were found to have a weak impact on women’s empowerment.

Teaching and Learning Guide for: Participatory Development: From Epistemological Reversals to Active Citizenship

Many people across the world are frustrated with the ways in which policy is formed and implemented. They feel shut-out of the process, even in nominally democratic societies, and so are seeking to increase participation in the development process. Participatory development is a term to describe approaches to policy and action that place the marginalised at the centre of decision-making. Participation has become a feature of approaches in both the global South and global North, and is one of the few occasions where learning appears to have travelled from the South to the North. Its universalisation over the past two to three decades reflects a frustration with the ways in which approaches that target the marginalised through ‘formal’ political channels and ‘top down’ policy processes have in fact ignored their views and needs. Through a range of techniques for engaging with marginalised communities, participatory development promises a more engaged form of social transformation. But like many radical approaches that potentially upset established power relations, participatory development has been co-opted and tamed by some organisations so that ‘participation’ is relatively thin and meaningless. The article explores the rise of participatory development and sets out what is meant by participation. It raises some criticisms of ‘mainstream’ participatory development and then sets out a suggested means by which participation could be more meaningful. This centres on accountability and citizenship, although these concepts are not unproblematic either.

Two Cheers for CCTs

Conditional cash transfers such as PROGRESA/Oportunidades are being widely adopted in developing countries as an effective means of combating poverty and promoting human development. These programmes provide a cash subsidy to the mothers of school-age children conditional on their fulfilling certain requirements. This article argues that in reinforcing a maternal model of care, they not only deepen gender divisions but also establish a trade-off between children's and women's needs for long-term security. In assuming that women are exclusively responsible for fulfilling the requirements of the programme and are available to carry out the duties prescribed, they ignore women's economic vulnerability and can even contribute to it if women's involvement in, and need for, income-generating work is undermined, Programme design could be improved by encouraging a more dynamic model of gender and generational cooperation which has the potential to generate more positive outcomes for all household members, including fathers who are otherwise marginalised from the responsibilities of care. © Institute of Development Studies.

Marginalisation by sexuality: report of an IDS workshop

Development agencies have conventionally viewed sexuality as a health issue. Sex has been regarded as a source of danger, harm and disease. The words ‘love’, ‘desire’ and ‘pleasure’ are absent from the development lexicon. This article draws on discussions at a workshop at the Institute of Development Studies, Sussex, in September 2005, at which activists, practitioners and academics came together to debate the challenge of realising sexual rights, and to share experience of practical initiatives of working with a more positive, enabling approach to issues of sex and sexuality. It calls on development agencies to redress the marginalisation of sexuality in their policies and programmes, and recognise the significance of sexual well-being for all dimensions of development.
