The No-Nonsense Guide to International Development
Description

"Overseas aid" and "international development" are catch-all terms that cover a multitude of activities-and abuses. This guide explains what "development" actually is-and explores its political and economic roots. It shows what can happen in the name of development and argues for a more organic, social approach with those it seeks to serve as equal partners in the process.
Maggie Black has written books for the Oxford University Press, UNICEF, and Oxfam. She has worked as a consultant for UNICEF, Anti-Slavery International, and WaterAid, among others, and has written for the Guardian, The Economist, and BBC World Service.
