Question

Match List-I with List-II. \[ \begin{array}{|c|c|c|l|} \hline \text{List-I} & & \text{List-II} & \\ \hline A. & \text{Governmentality} & I. & \text{Development as Discourse} \\ \hline B. & \text{Post-development} & II. & \text{Techno-managerial rationality of the State} \\ \hline C. & \text{Structural Adjustment} & III. & \text{Liberalization and austerity measures} \\ \hline D. & \text{Social Capital} & IV. & \text{Networks and trust in society} \\ \hline \end{array} \] Choose the correct answer from the options given below: 

• A. A-II, B-I, C-III, D-IV
• B. A-II, B-I, C-III, D-IV
• C. A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
• D. A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II

Hint:

Remember these concepts:
• Governmentality $\rightarrow$ Foucault $\rightarrow$ Governance by institutions.
• Post-development $\rightarrow$ Development as Discourse.
• Structural Adjustment $\rightarrow$ Liberalization + Privatization + Austerity.
• Social Capital $\rightarrow$ Networks + Trust.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept: These concepts are important in development studies and political economy. They explain how governments function, how development is viewed, how economic reforms are implemented, and how social relationships contribute to development.

Step 1: Match each concept with its meaning.
• Governmentality is a concept developed by Michel Foucault. It refers to the techno-managerial rationality of the State used to govern populations.
• Post-development theory criticizes mainstream development and views development as a discourse imposed by Western institutions.
• Structural Adjustment refers to economic reform programmes promoted by the IMF and World Bank involving liberalization and austerity measures.
• Social Capital refers to networks, trust and social cooperation that facilitate collective action and development.

Step 2: Prepare the correct matching. \[ \begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline List-I & List-II \hline A.\ \text{Governmentality} & II.\ \text{Techno-managerial rationality of the State} \hline B.\ \text{Post-development} & I.\ \text{Development as Discourse} \hline C.\ \text{Structural Adjustment} & III.\ \text{Liberalization and austerity measures} \hline D.\ \text{Social Capital} & IV.\ \text{Networks and trust in society} \hline \end{array} \] Thus, \[ \boxed{A-II,\;B-I,\;C-III,\;D-IV} \] Hence, \[ \boxed{\text{Correct Answer}=(A)} \]
