The analysis in the various chapters of this report points to the importance of understanding the ways in which institutions and policies are interconnected in different spheres of the political economy. It suggests that efforts to tackle poverty through discrete and standardized policies unrelated to a country’s production and macroeconomic systems, social policies and politics, are of limited impact, and may even be counterproductive. Policies and institutions in the economic, social and political spheres need to be consciously coordinated to achieve maximum impact."(pg 309)Pages: 52engWith permission of the license/copyright holderaccountabilitypolitical ethicspeace makingPolitical ethicsEthics of political systemsEthics of lawRights based legal ethicsGovernance and ethicsBook chapter
