DESCRIPTION:From the colonial period to the present governing authorities\
 , experts and self-appointed "trustees" have diagnosed deficiencies in lan
 dscapes and populations\, and devised technical schemes to bring about imp
 rovement. They set out to alleviate poverty\, but exclude key political-ec
 onomic relations from their technical domain. Yet there are conjunctures a
 t which the question of poverty is understood in terms that clearly demand
  political settlements\, and we may see signs of this in the distributive 
 welfare regimes currently emerging in parts of the global south. \n
