Description: Making of Anti-Poverty Policies in Ghana : Transnational Actors, Processes and Mechanisms, Hardcover by Foli, Rosina K., ISBN 3031172299, ISBN-13 9783031172298, Brand New, Free shipping in the US This book examines the roles played by transnational actors to influence poverty reduction policies in Ghana. Whereas previous studies on anti-poverty policies have primarily focused on the 'carrot and stick’ approach deployed by transnational actors – whereby developmental assistance is granted in return of certain conditions being met – this book demonstrates that there are several other strategies beyond this approach. These include conferences, seminars, and placements on policy committees. Rather than adopting 'hard’ means of shaping policy, many transnational actors use a 'soft’ approach characterized by collaboration. In order to demonstrate this, th examines two poverty reduction programmes in Ghana. Utilising research based on interviews with national-policy actors, civil-society organizations, and the media, it compares different approaches used by transnational actors and the attendant outcomes for national and international actors. Drawing on an interdisciplinary perspective, it will appeal to scholars and students of international relations, political science, and public policy.
