Dilemma: are Effective States compatible with Active Citizens?
![Page 13: From Poverty to Power](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54b85f864a79596e108b46a5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Dilemma: are Effective States compatible with Active Citizens? Nation builders are often undemocratic But East Asia distorts the picture - autocrats often fail
and civil society is now less tolerant of ‘benevolent dictators’
Social contracts have triggered development (e.g. Scandinavia), but selection bias excludes such states
According to study by Rodrik, democracies:– Produce more predictable long run growth rates– Produce greater short term stability– Handle shocks much better– Deliver more equality

Climate Change v Redistribution
Climate Change makes redistribution both more urgent, and more difficult
Three possible outcomes:
– Climate change avoided, inequality reduced (Global New Deal)
– Climate change avoided, but at cost of increased inequality (Carbon Apartheid)
– Catastrophic climate change + rising inequality (Meltdown)

Ten challenges
What difference does inequality make? Do we have a religious blind spot? Is it time to go urban? Can we really help build effective states? What do we do about migration?
![Page 16: From Poverty to Power](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54b85f864a79596e108b46a5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Ten challenges, continued
How do we integrate humanitarian and development work better?
Can we be more accountable and/or politically aware?
Is global institution building a waste of time? If national > global, what do we do differently? How do we develop a model for how change
happens?

And finally…..
The power of youtube How do you capture a 500 page book in a 2.5
minute video?
