In this dissertation, I analyze the rise and decline of state development planning and implications of this institutional change. Decolonizaiton and the post-war expansion of the nation-state system legitimated the nation-state as the main unit of development and the state as its primary agent. State development planning embodies these notions. However, state planning has recently been in decline. This decline has been accompanied by an upward shift in the frame of development to the world level and a downward shift in the locus of planning to sub-state level actors. First, an event history analysis of factors affecting national development plan adoption rates shows that both the rise and decline have been worldwide and externally driven processes. As such, the decline of planning suggests changes in the post-war notions of the nation-state and the state. The conceptual expansion of development from economic growth to social dimensions in international discourse and national plans has disaggregated the nation-state into its constituent parts and has emphasized the role of non-state actors. The upward shift recasts frames of development from nation-states to the world. I show this by studying growing differentiation of development indicators that account for progress in various domains and the emergence of world level data constructing the world as an integrated collectivity. Shifting downward is the locus of planning: sub-state level entities are constructed as rational actors. Theoretical re-conceptualization of the state elaborates on its changed role while reforms motivated by the new doctrines of public management reconstruct public agencies as rational organizations with their own plans. At the organizational level, there has been an increase in strategic planning and organizational strategy. At the same time, management consultancy has grown significantly, worldwide, as part of the general expansion of epistemic communities. Consultants provide actors with authoritative models and advice on organizing and action. The downward shift in the locus of planning, coupled with the expansion of consultancy, is likely to result in the sharp separation between planning ("talk"), and action.
