    Taking a unique comparative approach to the respective development paths of India, Brazil and South Africa (IBSA), this book shows that people and governments in all three countries are faced with similar challenges of heightened insecurity, caused by liberalization and structural adjustment. The ways in which governments, as well as individuals and worker organisations in IBSA have responded to these challenges are at the core of this book. The book explores the nature of insecurity in the Global South; the nature of the responses to this insecurity on public and small-scale collective as well as individual level; the potential of these responses to be more than neo-liberal mechanisms to govern and contain the poor and lessons to be learnt from these three countries.

    This book examines whether there is a common policy "geography" across South Asia, and looks at the nature of each of the South Asian states in terms of their position on a spectrum ranging from welfare, developmental and rights-based states. Both historically and in terms of policy responses to the crises, South Asia strikes as a region with a common socio-economic policy identity.

    Analysis of the North African 'Arab Spring' revolt against authoritarianism tends to focus reductively on social media, youth unemployment and citizen agitation. Whilst recognizing these factors, this book explains the revolt against the backdrop of a faulty developmental paradigm which privileged growth-centered export-led development at the expense of the domestic economy on which the majority of the population subsists. The book goes on to explore how european policies of toleration contributed towards perpetuating authoritarian regimes. This timely and sophisticated exploration of the revolt and its consequences is of great interest to researchers, policy makers and activists.

    Knowledge and rigorous evidence around the role of external development partners in situations of conflict and fragility is still lacking. This book strengthens evaluation theory and practice in order to help fill this knowledge gap and advocates a realistic and rigorous approach to evaluating international engagement. Through a series of case studies, it highlights both the promise, and potential pitfalls, of taking a more evaluative approach to understanding aid in conflict regions. The book shows what future steps may be envisaged to further strengthen evaluations of support for peacebuilding and conflict prevention.

    This is the first book to explore from an interdisciplinary and global perspective the reforms of social protection systems introduced in recent years by many governments of low- and middle-income countries. Through case studies of African, Asian, and Latin American countries, the book covers how this 'global phenomenon' differs across countries both in terms of scope and speed of institutional change. It addresses on the one hand the major elements impacting on the political feasibility of social protection reforms in order to analyse reform successes and reform failures, and on the other hand the successful strategies in building political and public support for these reforms.
