Description

Implementing Inequality explores how the internal dynamics of the international development industry shape its interventions and outcomes. Through an ethnographic study in postwar Angola, Rebecca Warne Peters examines the social pressures that guide development's methods and goals. The book introduces the concept of the development implementariat - those in-country workers who carry out policy prescriptions. These workers are central to the development endeavor but often overlooked and under-supported due to their work being deeply social, interactive, and relational. To meet its purpose, international development must first address its internal inequalities of work and professional class. This insightful study sheds light on the often-overlooked world of in-country development workers and highlights the need for greater recognition and support within the industry.
