Abstract

The anthropology of development favours non-normative empirical research focusing on all the strategic groups involved in public policies carried out by development agencies in Southern countries. They are often standardized interventions, which are unfamiliar with local contexts and are subject to significant deviations in their implementation compared to what was expected.
