Indonesia - Private Provision of Infrastructure Technical Assistance Loan Project
Shah, Shekhar | Rani, Manju
States in one federal nation, following the same Constitution, laws, and intergovernmental finance system, and subject to the same election cycles, Kerala and Uttar Pradesh remain worlds apart in human development. Their divergence translates into dramatic differences in the quality of life for millions-Uttar Pradesh, with 175 million people in 2001, is larger than all but six countries in the world (Kerala is 32 million). This paper highlights why the two are worlds apart, and the paths of history, politics, and public policy that each followed to get there. The paper focuses on achievements and failure, of the power of public action and the burden of official inertia.
