Abstract
ABSTRACT Patching Development' is a theory of change, and more specifically a theory of what leads to change in anti-poverty schemes whose enactment conditions the lives of millions of people. A software-inspired terminology, a contribution to literatures that go from public policy to information and communication technology for development (ICT4D), but first of all a concept that constructs a new theory of change: this is Veeraraghavan’s book, and these are just some of the many theoretical facets that the reader encounters. With many identities combined in one, laboriously-built ethnographic text, the reader turns the final page having gained a theoretical account positioned to shape the history of social protection in development studies.
期刊介绍：
Information Technology for Development , with an established record for publishing quality research and influencing practice, is the first journal to have explicitly addressed global information technology issues and opportunities. It publishes social and technical research on the effects of Information Technology (IT) on economic, social and human development. The objective of the Journal is to provide a forum for policy-makers, practitioners, and academics to discuss strategies and best practices, tools and techniques for ascertaining the effects of IT infrastructures in government, civil societies and the private sector, and theories and frameworks that explain the effects of IT on development. The concept of development relates to social, economic and human outcomes from the implementation of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools, technologies, and infrastructures. In addition to being a valuable publication in the field of information systems, Information Technology for Development is also cited in fields such as public administration, economics, and international development and business, and has a particularly large readership in international agencies connected to the Commonwealth Secretariat, United Nations, and World Bank.
