Abstract

The developmental state must harness the power of government at every level to ensure that each part of the country builds on its strengths and develops to its potential, IVAN TUROK argues. However, current institutional capacity is weakest where support is needed most. Development strategies need to be decentralised and strengthened if the full powers of government are to be brought to bear effectively.
