They portrayed the PRSPs as a major shift in their outlook and strategy of fighting poverty. This was also claimed to be the end of the Washington Consensus, the underlying ideological framework of structural adjustments. I argue that the PRSPs have been introduced because of the legitimacy crisis that the two organizations suffered due to the implementation of the adjustment programs. I see the PRSP initiative as an image make over bid. The Washington Consensus continues to dominate the agenda albeit in a revised manner. The difference with the PRSPs initiative is that it evokes civil society to build consensus around the policy. I use critical policy analysis as my method. This thesis involves a case study on the Bangladesh PRSP along with an analysis of the policies written by the Bank and IMF. | | Subject | : | Social sciences; Organizational behavior; 0703:Organizational behavior | | Added Entry | : | University of Alberta (Canada) |
