Abstract

[As I write this, the 2005 G8 Summit at Gleneagles — with a supporting cast of ageing rock stars and celebrities — claimed a frontal assault on African poverty. Crocodile tears, or the end of neo liberalism? Stripped to its bare essentials it is this question that prompted this study. The G8 Summit is but one illustration of an intriguing dilemma. On the one hand there is a new social agenda with an enhanced focus — discernable even within the ramparts of neo liberalism such as the World Bank and other international financial institutions — on such issues as poverty and welfare; then, on the other hand, this new ethos, often couched in a new political language of inclusion and cognate governance structures, is framed within the boundaries set by the market model which has dominated politics and policy over the last three decades in advanced industrial as well as newly industrializing countries.]
