Abstract

Having discussed various definitions of reflexivity and drawn out some of their implications for the methodology of development economics in the form of a taxonomy, I attempt here to examine these ideas in practice. The idea that theory and practice are linked is central to reflexivity — and reflexivity itself requires practical application. Since the taxonomy is partly based on a critical discussion of the Washington Consensus there is also a need to examine the validity of the Washington Consensus. Vanuatu is a particularly good case study, for if the Consensus is to claim valid universality, it must apply not only to well-known less-developed states, but also to the global periphery.
