Summary: | This book provides tools of analysis for
discovering equity in tax burdens as well as in public
spending and judging government performance in its role in
safeguarding the interests of the poor and those otherwise
disadvantaged members of society, such as women, children,
and minorities. The book further provides a framework for a
rights-based approach to citizen empowerment-in other words,
creating an institutional design with appropriate rules,
restraints, and incentives to make the public sector
responsive and accountable to an average voter. Various
chapters in this book provide tools of analysis for
addressing the following test questions: public burden test;
poverty reduction test; social protection test; gender
safeguard test; responsiveness test; and accountability test. |
