CHAPTER 1

PART I Word Play

Introduction: words and concepts

'When I use a word' Humpty Dumpty said, 'in a rather scornful tone, it means just what I choose it to mean, neither more nor less'

'The question is,' said Alice, 'whether you can make words mean so many different things.'

'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master – that's all.'

Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There, 1871 Winnie-the-Pooh sat down at the foot of the tree, put his head between his paws, and began to think. First of all he said to himself: 'That buzzing noise means something. You don't get a buzzing noise like that, just buzzing and buzzing, without its meaning something.'

A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh, 19261

The words used in development continuously change. Some do become hardy perennials – poverty, gender, sustainability, livelihood – long-term survivors, year on year. Others influence policy, thinking and practice and then are used less and less, perhaps in part because their job is done – basic needs, for instance, and feminism (somewhat surprisingly). Others like coordination and integration have their day, fade away and then revive. Yet others gestate for years and then their moment comes and they are almost everywhere – sustainable livelihoods, social capital, civil society, good governance.

Words can feed cynicism and at the same time be a source of fun. To mock fashions in the lexicon of development we use expressions like buzz words, development-speak, flavours of the month, and PC (politically correct); and we describe acronyms as alphabet soup. Current development-speak words can be used for Development Bingo (aka tombola or houseyhousey), a diverting game that can be played by students during lectures on development and more generally by members of the audience in political fora.

Words, bingo and reflexivity introduces the Development Bingo game in which the columns can list the latest and most used fashionable words, including nowadays acronyms such as MDGs (Millennium Development Goals) and RBM (results-based management) and words like harmonization, capacity development, deliverables, social protection, evidence-based, empowerment, accountability and fragile states. These are ticked as they are mentioned. Development bingo brings triple benefits: it mitigates the ordeal of the listener; it enhances critical awareness; and it startles speakers with suppressed laughter or cries of 'development' when a column is complete. This includes an invitation to list and reflect on your own favourite words.

The Cornwall and Eade book Deconstructing Development Discourse is at once entertaining, enlightening and erudite on the subject of words in development and says almost all that needs to be said. For our purposes here let me underline two points. First, the vagueness of the meanings attributed to the same words by different actors – empowerment and participation are notorious cases – can lead to misunderstanding but is not all bad: for it can also sometimes allow action to go ahead, with the word as a Trojan horse. Second, in contrast, defining what you are going to mean by words, in a talk, lecture, or writing, sharpens thinking and helps communication. These two points are in tension, and it is a matter of tactics and judgement, which should be master when and for whom.

For all the cynicism, critiques, whimsy and fun to which development-speak gives rise, words do matter. In my view they matter hugely. They express concepts. They raise issues. Their choice and meanings reveal and express mindsets. Reflexivity, meaning critical reflection on one's own mindset, and warning readers about this, is fundamental. Then the usages and meanings of words evolve. Identifying new ones that have come into use can show us how thinking and practice have changed and are changing. Development Bingo is in the spirit of serious fun, a source of learning as the listener or reader lists words and checks them off as they are used. Such words and their combinations frame and form our perceptions and thought, structure our mindsets, and influence our actions. As Fritjof Capra (1996: 47) put it:

As humans, we exist in language and we continually weave the linguistic web in which we are embedded. We coordinate our behaviour in language, and together in language we bring forth our world.

A word or phrase can make us see things and patterns and possibilities that we would otherwise not have seen. Small is beautiful introduced and legitimated intermediate technology: if Schumacher's publisher had not suggested such an arresting and memorable title, development would have been poorer, and Schumacher's work less known. Simple is sophisticated which follows below is transparently, some might say grossly, derivative. It sought to develop a theme and never took off or had any significant influence. Was it, is it, anything more than a creature of its time (1978)?

Then The power of words in development examines words and phrases as instruments of interpersonal and institutional power. They privilege those who are fluent in English and marginalize those who are not. Jargon has its technical uses but is also an instrument of power, and labelling with words like participatory can be a camouflage.

Many words and phrases that come to flourish seem to start their wider lives in Washington DC. The World Bank at one time aspired to be the Knowledge Bank (Broad, 2007). A central repository and source of knowledge would dangerously concentrate power and threaten diversity and pluralism, and the World Bank did not achieve that ambition. But it maintains its position as a prime source not just of dominant ideologies but also of Words of power.

Appropriation and misuse of participatory was once feared when it was applied to GIS. In the event, committed activists seized the initiative and Participatory GIS became a vibrant movement empowering many weak communities.

The name of an organization interacts with its identity, which in advertising-speak we came to call its image and now in corporate-speak we know as its brand. The name of an organization influences not just how it is seen but whom it recruits, what it does and even how much influence it has. Sightsavers and WaterAid are international NGOs concerned with much more than saving sight or providing water but their identities, images, brands and authority are focused and enhanced by the specificity of their names. A book with an arresting title sells better and has more impact. What's in a name? is of historical interest, referring to the christening of an international organization which later renamed itself, while Hubris and hypocrisy sees mediocrity following the proclaiming of a centre of excellence.

Words empower those who can use them with confidence, especially when the words are or appear new. Some of the power of academics over students, and indeed with their colleagues, lies in the mastery and use of technical terms and jargon. How to impress academic colleagues and Advice to students (in Academic games) are excursions into that world.

What words count? presents ways into analysing a text and the mindset and orientation behind it through counting the number of times words are used and also noting words not used. When applied to the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness this provides material for an emblematic sentence of its most common words, and another of words that do not appear at all.

The same can be done when listening to a talk, counting the number of times certain key words are used. This has become a practice of some journalists when reporting on major speeches by politicians.

Finally, What words and aspirations now? invites you to make your own list of words and phrases you would like to become part of the lexicon of development, and then to compare them with some of those that have frequently scored high in participatory workshops.

Words, bingo and reflexivity

A place to start is with the words and concepts we habitually use, listing these, and asking how they frame, influence and reinforce our thinking and action. I have tried to do this for myself. Here is a matrix of what, with fond delusion, I like to believe are some of my favourite words. When I use them in writing I have to check that what I have already written is not already peppered with them.

What are yours? Below is a blank, with more rows, since you are probably not as constrained as I am by pentaphilia (the love of fives of a thing).

In Bingo (aka tombola or housey-housey) players have sheets with columns of numbers. As a caller shouts out random numbers, players tick as theirs come up, and shout out 'BINGO!' when they have a complete column. We can do the same with words in development. So here is an invitation for you to pencil in Table 1.3 with words that you consider have become current and much more used in the past 10 to 15 years. You may want to include acronyms, or make out a separate matrix for them.

When someone is talking or lecturing about development, you can then tick the words as they use them. And perhaps, in development studies, shout 'DEVELOPMENT!' when a column is complete. Particularly after lunch, as a wake up.

Here is my list of recent Development Bingo words. Please bear in mind that they will soon be dated, if they are not already.

'Reflexivity' – critical reflection on one's own mindset, predispositions, values, mental frames, and ways of interpreting experience and reality – is not one of the words in Table 1.4.

And yet, is it not fundamentally important? How can we do well in development if we are not self-aware? Nor are 'power', 'relationships' or 'personal' in much use, though more perhaps than in the past. When we reflect on these, and their omission, are they elephants in the room? And if they are, why do we not use them more?

Simple is sophisticated

Simple is Sophisticated was an unsuccessful attempt to coin a phrase that would catch on and make a difference. The article which follows was a creature of its time, the latter 1970s. In the reference to Modern Rice Mills depriving poor women of livelihoods there lurks the fond idea that technology that would put poor people out of work could be prohibited. This was the decade when a member of the Planning Commission in India advocated banning combine harvesters from Northwest India because they would displace hundreds of thousands of seasonal migrant labourers. We are now in 2011 in a new world. Mobile phones have transformed communications and the quality of life for hundreds of millions of poor rural people. But though their technology is complicated, mobile phones are simple to operate and have become part of many livelihood strategies. They embody the sophistication of both technical complexity and user-friendly simplicity. With them, simple is doubly sophisticated.

To achieve rural development in the third world, the time is overdue for a reversal of professional values; ideas of sophistication should be stood on their head; and true professional sophistication is often to be found in simplicity.

In common usage today (1978) 'sophisticated' means refined, cultivated, advanced and complex, the opposites of crude, boorish, primitive and elementary. Almost everywhere, professionals, including engineers, economists, doctors, architects and agronomists, prefer procedures and techniques which are described as sophisticated and which are variously complex, exact and costly. Professionals believe that it is by using such procedures and techniques that they can best prove their abilities and competence. For them, 'sophisticated' technology is more prestigious than intermediate or appropriate technology; 'sophisticated' methods of project appraisal more rewarding than less elaborate methods; 'sophisticated' surgery more challenging and satisfying than simple surgical operations.

But most of these procedures, techniques and values have been conceived and evolved in and for the rich, privileged and industrialized North, not the poor, underprivileged and predominantly rural South. The flow from North to South of textbooks, training, and professional recognition and rewards brainwashes and socializes Third World professionals into accepting these value systems, which, as Carol J. Pierce Colfer has argued in a recent Development Forum, draws them away from the poorer rural people. Prestige and recognition go to those who use complicated and costly tools and whose papers are published in hard international journals. Professionals who seek a national or international reputation all too often sense that this can be best be achieved by excelling according to the values of professional establishments of the North.

Much that passes for professional sophistication is inappropriate in the North itself; but it is doubly so in the South. The cult of these forms of sophistication reinforces dependence and impedes development in the South. Elaborate procedures and complex techniques, when transferred from North to South have high costs. They generate an appetite for expensive equipment, for foreign experts, for counterparts, for training in the North, for data collection and for the processing and analysis of data. Resources to meet these demands are diverted from alternative uses. Urban bias is accentuated, dependence sustained or deepened, and national professionals in the countries of the South gain skills, experience and contacts which encourage them to migrate to the North and to international agencies. The rural areas, where most of the poor people live, remain peripheral within peripheral countries, a mine from which data, skills and funds are extracted.

Reaching the poor

But if development means ending poverty and deprivation, and if most of the poor and deprived people live in the rural areas of the South, then true sophistication will be found in those procedures and techniques which most effectively reach and help them. Methods tailored to the needs and situation of people who are poor and scattered in rural agricultural communities where skills are scarce are likely to be radically different from those evolved for people who are relatively rich and concentrated in urban industrial centres in countries where skills are plentiful. What appears professionally sophisticated for the one will often be professionally crass for the other.

Some examples can illustrate the point. One can ask – which is more sophisticated:

• A soils map made over a long period by a highly trained scientist or a similar map made in a much shorter period in collaboration with local farmers?

• A fishing survey by an international expert, taking months, costing thousands of dollars, and culminating in proposals for expensive equipment to be used on a remote lake in an area with poor maintenance facilities; or a two-week survey by a local university student leading to immediately feasible proposals for upgrading and expanding existing fishing methods?

• The introduction of modern rice mills with a potential for destroying the livelihoods of hundreds of poor women; or the improvement of traditional rice hullers which would maintain their employment?

• A computer-based system requiring experts, counterparts and massive field data collection to monitor rural projects; or a weight-for-age chart to enable illiterate mothers to monitor the growth of their babies?

• The work of a doctor who performs open-heart surgery for a few of the privileged; or that of a doctor who trains health workers from villages to provide services for many of the deprived?

In each case, there is room for argument on the basis of detail. But the general point stands out clearly. The second, simpler procedure or technique, closer to the rural people and involving them more, is more cost effective. The lesson is the paradox: that in attacking rural poverty, it is sophisticated to be simple.

This principle, that simple is sophisticated, applies to much of rural development. It applies, first, in the design of rural development projects. Approaches which can be managed by rural people themselves are usually more successful than those which cannot. Approaches which enable them through their own efforts to improve their levels of living are usually more successful than those which require major inputs from outside. Housing, tools, machinery, cropping systems and services which they can maintain, operate and manage are likely to be more cost-effective than those which they cannot. Moreover, in rural development, simple is replicable.

Instructions for revocation

Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,

on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.

You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.

In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.

Consequences of the revocation

If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.

We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.

You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.

You bear the direct costs for returning the products.

You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.

Criteria for exclusion or expiry

The revocation right is not available for contracts

for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;
for delivery of products if they have been mixed inseparably with other goods after the delivery, owing to their condition;
for delivery of sound or video recording or computer software in a sealed package if the seal has been removed after the delivery.

Data protection declaration

Unless stated otherwise below, the provision of your personal data is neither legally nor contractually obligatory, nor required for conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide your data. Not providing it will have no consequences. This only applies as long as the processing procedures below do not state otherwise.
"Personal data" is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.

Responsible person
Contact us at any time. The person responsible for data processing is: Ansas Meyer, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück Deutschland, +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, mail@preigu.de

Collection and processing when using the cancellation button
If you have entered into a contract via this platform for which a statutory right of cancellation applies, the platform provides you with a cancellation function (cancellation button) through which you can submit your notice of cancellation immediately.
When using the cancellation function, your personal data (name, email address, details identifying the contract or part of the contract you wish to withdraw from, and the time (date and time) of sending the notice of withdrawal) will only be collected to the extent that you have provided it.
The purpose of data processing is to provide you with the statutory option to withdraw from your contract and to ensure the proper processing of your withdrawal.
The platform operator collects your data on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, namely the legitimate interest in ensuring the general accessibility of the statutory withdrawal function on the platform. You will receive a confirmation email from the platform operator acknowledging receipt of your notice of withdrawal.
The data is then transmitted to us by the platform operator.
If the contact relates to a contract already concluded between you and us, this data processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. Otherwise, data processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR, to fulfil a legal obligation to provide an electronic withdrawal function.
We use your email address solely to process your notice of withdrawal. Your data will subsequently be deleted in accordance with statutory retention periods, provided you have not consented to further processing and use.

Collection, processing, and transfer of personal data in orders
When you submit an order we only collect and use your personal data insofar as this is necessary for the fulfilment and handling of your order as well as processing of your queries. The provision of data is necessary for conclusion of a contract. Failure to provide it will prevent the conclusion of any contract. The processing will occur on the basis of Article 6(1) b) GDPR and is required for the fulfilment of a contract with you.
Your data will be shared, for example, with shipping companies, dropshipping or fulfillment providers, payment service providers, service providers for order processing, and IT service providers. We will comply strictly with legal requirements in every case. The scope of data transmission is restricted to a minimum.

Duration of storage
After contractual processing has been completed, the data is initially stored for the duration of the warranty period, then in accordance with the retention periods prescribed by law, especially tax and commercial law, and then deleted after the period has elapsed, unless you have agreed to further processing and use.

Rights of the affected person
If the legal requirements are fulfilled, you have the following rights according to art. 15 to 20 GDPR: Right to information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability. You also have a right of objection against processing based on art. 6 (1) GDPR, and to processing for the purposes of direct marketing, according to art. 21 (1) GDPR.

Right to complain to the regulatory authority
You have the right to complain to the regulatory authority according to art. 77 GDPR if you believe that your data is not being processed legally.
You can lodge a complaint with, among others, the supervisory authority responsible for us, which you may reach at the following contact details:

Landesbeauftragte für den Datenschutz Niedersachsen Prinzenstraße 5 30159 Hannover Tel.: +49 511 1204500 Fax: +49 511 1204599 E-Mail: poststelle@lfd.niedersachsen.de

Right to object
If the data processing outlined here is based on our legitimate interests in accordance with Article 6(1)f) GDPR, you have the right for reasons arising from your particular situation to object at any time to the processing of your data with future effect.
If the objection is successful, we will no longer process the personal data, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that outweigh your interests or rights and freedoms, or the processing is intended for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.
