Delusions of Development looks at the World Banks promotion of market-led development in the underdeveloped world and the impact that this has upon citizenship. It approaches this subject using case studies drawn from Southeast Asia, one of the worlds most diverse regions.

The book details the way in which the Bank, frustrated by earlier efforts, has established a new approach to development that seeks to constitute market society. This approach involves new forms of participation and partnership coupled with novel programmes and projects - a combination which now characterises development orthodoxy. However, rather than expanding the representation of the poor, the Banks mission is actually designed to constrain politics in the interests of implementing a new institutional market order. As the case studies in this book attest, this mission is subjected to political forces which continue to render the neoliberal project of establishing an idealised notion of market society an impossible mission. Further, the Banks attempt to replace political mobilisation of the marginalised with a contradictory and depoliticised participatory agenda makes the plight of underdeveloped world all the more precarious.

Toby Carroll's Delusions of Development is one of the best recent books that focus on the promotion of market-based development by the World Bank. His interpretation of the origins and development of the Bank's 'socio-institutional neoliberalism' is a provocative, but highly accurate analysis of the implementation of World Bank country assistance programmes in various Southeast Asian developing countries. This book is a must read for anyone interested in the evolution of contemporary multilateral development policies."
