This title is part of the ""New Frontiers of Social Policy"" series. In most developing countries, the mixed record of state effectiveness, market imperfections, and persistent structural inequities has undermined the effectiveness of social policy. ""The New Frontiers of Social Policy"" series, edited by Anis Dani, examines issues and approaches to extend the boundaries of social policy beyond conventional social services toward more developmental policies and institutions for improving equality of opportunity and social justice in developing country contexts.
