Public Participation in Development Planning and Management

Westview Replica Editions

The concept of Westview Replica Editions is a response to the continuing crisis in academic and informational publishing. Library budgets for books have been severely curtailed. Ever larger portions of general library budgets are being diverted from the purchase of books and used for data banks, computers, micromedia, and other methods of information retrieval. Interlibrary loan structures further reduce the edition sizes required to satisfy the needs of the scholarly community. Economic pressures on the university presses and the few private scholarly publishing companies have severely limited the capacity of the industry to properly serve the academic and research communities. As a result, many manuscripts dealing with important subjects, often representing the highest level of scholarship, are no longer economically viable publishing projects--or, if accepted for publication, are typically subject to lead times ranging from one to three years.

Westview Replica Editions are our practical solution to the problem. We accept a manuscript in camera-ready form, typed according to our specifications, and move it immediately into the production process. As always, the selection criteria include the importance of the subject, the work's contribution to scholarship, and its insight, originality of thought, and excellence of exposition. The responsibility for editing and proofreading lies with the author or sponsoring institution. We prepare chapter headings and display pages, file for copyright, and obtain Library of Congress Cataloging in Publication Data. A detailed manual contains simple instructions for preparing the final typescript, and our editorial staff is always available to answer questions.

The end result is a book printed on acid-free paper and bound in sturdy library-quality soft covers. We manufacture these books ourselves using equipment that does not require a lengthy make-ready process and that allows us to publish first editions of 300 to 600 copies and to reprint even smaller quantities as needed. Thus, we can produce Replica Editions quickly and can keep even very specialized books in print as long as there is a demand for them.

About the Book and Editor

This book examines the position held by most development administrators that citizen participation in the planning and management of development projects is crucial to their lasting success. The contributors view inadequate participation as part of the larger problem of ineffective management, policies, and planning. They show that development objectives have been hampered by failures in program implementation: Assistance agencies often falter in delivering projects, while their clients often fail to sustain them. Case studies from African and Asian countries are used to analyze successes and failures in efforts to create a participatory process of project planning and management.

Jean-Claude Garcia-Zamor is professor of public policy and administration at Howard University. Previously, he taught at the Brazilian School of Public Administration (EBAP) of the Getulio Vargas Foundation in Rio de Janeiro, and at the University of Texas at Austin. Among Dr. Garcia-Zamor's most recent publications is The Ecology of Development Administration in Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, and Barbados (1977) . He also coedited The Financing of Development in Latin America (1980) .

Guide

The idea for this volume was originally conceived by my dear friend, Harlan H. Hobgood. He asked me in 1981 to be on a panel on Participative Planning and Management that he was organizing for the annual meeting of the American Society for Public Administration (ASPA) in Honolulu, Hawaii, in March 1982. The purpose of the panel was to examine the assumption that unless the people affected participate directly in the planning and management of development projects and programs, these projects won't have a lasting success. The method of examination suggested by Harlan was a case study approach presenting what has been learned from both successes and failures in specific efforts to create a participatory process of project planning and management. Three of the chapters in this volume, by Derick W. Brinkerhoff, Richard W. Ryan, and Frances F. Korten, were written for the 1982 meeting in Hawaii.

Immediately after the Hawaii conference, Harlan invited me to join him in co-chairing a panel on the same subject at the 1983 ASPA conference in New York City, and in co-editing the papers from the two panels into a volume on participative planning and management. Harlan, who was the director of the United States Agency for International Development (AID) Mission to Haiti, subsequently found himself unable to attend the New York meeting. The four chapters by David J. Gould, James B. Mayfield, Norman Uphoff, and Sheila Carapico were prepared for that conference.

During several visits to Port-au-Prince, I met with Harlan, and we both became increasingly aware that because of the responsibilities of his position, it would be difficult for us to co-edit the book. I decided to go ahead with the project, and invited Theodore Thomas and Mohammad Mohabbat Khan to submit their chapters to complete the volume.
