description: The following chapters portray how, in the context of globalization, some social, political, and economic mechanisms can differentially explain local, national, and international development in the world. While processes of globalization such as aid and trade agreements do convey gains expressed in improved figures of human and economic development, they do not operate in a political and social vacuum. The lessons on the politics of redistribution visited in all chapters ‒ but more heavily expressed in Chapter 3 ‒ speak loudly in favor of the latter. Globalization and the construction of welfare is a multi-layered process, dependent not only on international and national policy-making, but also on local factors that shape the numbers of winners and losers around the world. I hope that this thesis contributes to the latest, increasing array of work in charge of sustaining effective national- and local-level policy-making in the fields of aid, trade, and leaders’ regional influence on specific and more general forms of development.
