dc.descriptionThe dry language of ‘state budget allocations’ may conjure up images of technical decisions made by anonymous bureaucrats (or – even worse – technocrats), presumably economists.1 ‘International human rights framework’ similarly suggests the work of lawyers, diplomats and academics. The formal language and the images of elite professions obscure the fact that these matters concern the bread and butter – or even life and death – basics of human society. State budget allocations affect social security, health, education and security issues; they express in very practical and concrete terms the priorities of a political community. The grant or denial of funding may mean the difference between existence or not of maternity health clinics, literacy programs, social safety nets. Such decisions are not just matters of balancing the account books; they also express political choices.-
