Development studies on socio-political economy

Abstract

Development Studies on Socio-Political Economy examines the complex interactions between economic development, political structures, and social institutions. The book analyzes how governance, public policy, power relations, and institutional capacity influence growth outcomes, equity, and social welfare. Drawing on development theory and real-world contexts, the author highlights challenges such as inequality, bureaucratic constraints, political instability, and policy incoherence. The work emphasizes the need for inclusive governance, institutional reform, and balanced socio-economic strategies to achieve sustainable and equitable development.
