Abstract

Economic growth was perceived to be central to development policy formation in debates from the 1950s to the late 1980s. The issue of policy concern was the quantity of growth and how to produce it. From the late 1980s onwards growth was to a certain extent knocked off the policy ‘top spot’ by poverty reduction and subsequently debates shifted to discuss the quality rather than just the quantity of growth. Indeed, although it actually emerged as a concept in the 1970s as ‘redistribution with growth’, ‘pro-poor growth’ (in various guises) has been an important part of the post-WC and debates of the 1990s.1 Throughout there has also been the underlying issue of growth and environmental sustainability too. This is likely to become increasingly important in light of the EPICs outlined in earlier chapters, most notably climate change, but one might also note demography and growth links too.
