Perhap an example will illustrate. In many low income countries, policy analysis is done by donor consultants. The domestic professionals are forced to be minor functionaries in teh process. The universities were not involved. There were not hinktanks of any merit. Later all domestic professionals on any merit were involved only as consultants under the direction of donor representatives. They are never in charge of their own agendas. Nor do they have their own networks, peer review and iniitatives other than those conducted under donor supervision. The result is that the best people run away to donor headquarters. Those that remain are dispirited and lack the incnetive to fully develop.Like a child that is over-protected, they do not grow.
