Opis

This text focuses specifically on the variety of organizations involved in development policy and practice. It explores the range and role of organizations, including community-based organizations and civil society actors, international non-governmental organizations, state and other national-based actors, global forms of governance, international financial institutions, and transnational corporations.

Recenzje

"Rebecca Schaaf’s ambitious text fills a glaring lacuna in development studies with its systematic examination of development organizations, from global level donor agencies to local NGOs. This clearly written and provocatively illustrated book is the first to critically scrutinize the breadth, motivation, histories and complexity of the entities that do development." Dr. Trevor Birkenholtz, Department of Geography at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, USA.
