Securitising participation in the Philippines: KALAHI and community-driven development / Ben Reid. - 2011

The World Bank has one of the largest community-driven development (CDD) programmes and supports projects thorughout the developing world. Using the example of a project in the Philippines this article argues that CDD projects have become increasingly linked with state security considerations. As a result CDD projects deliver token political reforms and poverty alleviation, and even these are counteracted by trends to development decline and militarisation. The article considers DCC programmes in general and in the Philippines in particular in the context of the evolving Washington Consensus.
