DESCRIPTION:Why do some parts of the state in developing countries functi
 on much more effectively than others? What role do these ‘pockets of eff
 ectiveness’ (PoEs) play in delivering development in Africa? This webina
 r summarises in-depth field research on PoEs in Ghana\, Uganda and Zambi
 a arguing that their performance over time has to be understood in relat
 ion to the changing nature of political settlement dynamics. The session
  will reveal the ways in which political rulers use PoEs to deliver poli
 tical as well as developmental goals\, and the ideologically-biased role
  of international development actors in supporting certain types of PoE.
   We will also offer insights into the challenges of building state capa
 city amidst the transnational politics of regime survival.
