| Mosse (2005) presents an analysis of how the „policy-practice dynamic‟ played out in the DFID-funded Indo-British Rainfed Farming Project (IBRFP) amongst the Bhil 'tribal' communities in rural western India. He describes how a development project finds ways of working itself out and how these ways are rarely based on policy in the way it is usually documented - but that they can nevertheless be turned into policy after the events. 'What if,' as Mosse formulates it, 'development practice is not driven by policy? What if the things that make for good policy are quite different from those that make it implementable? What if, instead of policy producing practice, practice produces policy, in the sense that actors in development devote their energies to maintaining coherent representations regardless of events?' (Mosse, 2005: 2). It becomes evident that the dynamic between policy and practice is deeply important in the project - but not for the reasons one would think. | On the contrary, he presents an ethnographic analysis of the dynamic between aid policy and practice that makes us think about both categories in new ways.

[...] In short, Mosse describes how a development project finds ways of working itself out and how these ways are rarely based on policy in the way that we usually assume - but that they can nevertheless be turned into policy after the event.
