ABSTRACT:
The World Bank sponsored anti-corruption programme in Bolivia seemed like the perfectly designed programme. Yet, like many other such initiatives, the promise did not live up to the potential – the State failed because of politicisation. The politicisation of the State reduced the effectiveness of international anti-corruption intervention. But actions taken to depoliticise the Bolivian state have not succeeded. And “depoliticised” technocratic programmes such as the anti-corruption programme also have fared no better because they become captured – as much development activity does. Rather than merely abandoning policy to the “anti-politics” machine, task managers can choose more or less wisely their actions given possible future usurpation of their project. A model is presented highlighting the issues involved in a more general context.
