Examining its history, its rationale, and its effectiveness, they reach some challenging conclusions as to the part aid plays in catalysing, or indeed stifling, development. While some argue that aid remains vital, and must be maintained or increased, others are more sceptical, and fear that it may even prolong underdevelopment in certain circumstances. The contributors to this volume have all worked in, or been closely connected with, international development. They have experience of different aspects of development aid, and thus offer a wide range of fascinating insights and perspectives on this vital subject. |
