The wrong path: the World Bank's Country Assistance Strategy for Mexico
The authors assess the 1995 CAS for Mexico, arguing that it fails to provide any coherent poverty-reduction strategies and maintains, incorrectly, that increased economic growth can alleviate poverty in and of itself. Also attacked is the way the CAS is developed without any consultation with civil society organisations in Mexico. This article also appears in the Development in Practice Reader Development and Patronage.
