- W128487392 abstract "This paper has an unusual history that may be worth recounting in order to shed some light on the community of scholarship to which we belong. Initially, it was commissioned for a special issue of a journal devoted to the topic of Sen’s capability approach. The editors of the special issue made comments and suggestions for revisions that I duly undertook. Then, to our mutual surprise, the editor of the journal itself refused to publish the piece as it had been decided that the special issue was to focus on operationalising the capability approach. Had I known this in advance, I would not have undertaken the commission as my concern had been to bring out some of the tensions in the development and content of Sen’s thinking, rather than the strengths and weaknesses in its empirical or policy application. Consequently, the piece was put aside although it was, and remains, posted on the SOAS web site, Fine (2001). Some time later, I received an email from a World Bank organizer of its annual conference, the Annual Bank Conference on Development Economics, ABCDE, requesting me to suggest a theme for its 2002 conference to be held in Stockholm. Being of a critical, or is that cynical, realist bent of mind, I assumed that this was a general circular doing the rounds in an attempt to circumvent criticism of the putative knowledge bank that it should be more inclusive in its thinking and participants. I decided not to reply to prevent the World Bank from free-riding on my token participation in determining its agenda that I was sure would not be considered seriously. But, at least in part, I appeared to be wrong. I received another email reinforcing the invitation to suggest a theme. However, my cynicism did not desert me, and I responded to the effect that if they genuinely wanted my suggestions, I would make them but not if this was a general circular. To my surprise, I was informed that I had, indeed, been selected as an individual to make a proposal. I did so, suggesting that the study of development should be assessed in the context of the relationship between economics and the other social sciences, a subject on which I was then, and have remained, seriously engaged 1 . My suggestion was declined, and I thought no more of it other than that I had, indeed, been used for legitimizing purposes 2 . That is until I began to hear rumors, exaggerated or not, through the grapevine of what lay behind all of this. First, the organizing committee for the conference had included some more progressive economists, and this is why I had been suggested to propose a theme. Second, however, it seems my participation had been vetoed from the highest level." @default.
