Democratic Accountability and International Human Development: Regimes, Institutions and Resources

by Mark Considine and Kamran Ali Afzal

Book Overview

Scholars and policymakers have long known that there is a strong link between human development and spending on key areas such as education and health. However, many states still neglect these considerations in favour of competing priorities, such as expanding their armies. This book examines how states arrive at these decisions, analysing how democratic accountability influences public spending and impacts on human development.
