Includes bibliographical references. This thesis looks into how the concept of Public Works Programmes has developed along historical and theoretical lines to reveal how authors writing for international institutions such as the World Bank have substantially dominated the production of knowledge on the topic. This has led to inappropriate policy choices, errors in programme design and unrealistic expectations on the part of policy implementers especially in developing countries. A qualitative case study on the micro-level performance of the EPWP [Extended Public Works Programme in South Africa] then draws attention to the undifferentiated and superficial analysis the literature has delivered, emphasizing how economists have failed to adequately conceptualise and evaluate Public Works Programmes. 2015-01-10T13:29:58Z 2015-01-10T13:29:58Z 2012 Master Thesis Masters MPhil http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11963 eng application/pdf Department of Social Development Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
