ABSTRACT

This chapter develops the main argument of the book, that there are three current “movements” related to inclusive development that are both more critical and politically progressive than understanding and approaches to inclusive development outlined in Chapters 5–7 of this book. The movements represent a shift in how the word “inclusive” is framed in terms of development. In this chapter, three movements: 1) from participation to representation; 2) from uncritical to critical assessment of social capital; and 3) from social protection to redistribution are highlighted. In this chapter I argue that these framings of inclusive development are informative for an era in which former aid recipient countries are driving their own development agendas and in which large development organizations increasingly will be asked to operationalize what is meant by “inclusive development.”
