| Summary: | The first two chapters study the analysis and the poverty eradication policies of the UNDP and the World Bank. Chapter III studies the references they make to Amartya Sen (conceptual similarity and explicit references). Then, we study the capability approach : chapter IV studies the economic analysis underlying this approach, chapter V examines its ethical dimension. We show that the approach is not operational – which leads to a gap between the theoretical system and the concrete applications and/or policy recommendations that should follow. This same observation is made on democracy – about which the UNDP and World Bank explicitly refer to Sen. We conclude that Sen is not an author that proposes an alternative view of development to that of international organisations: their economic and political analyses are very similar. |
