"In recent decades international development has grown into a world-shaping industry.
But how do aid agencies work and what do they achieve? How does aid appear to those
who receive it? And why has there been so little improvement in the position of the
poor? Viewing aid and development from anthropological perspectives gives illuminating
answers to questions such as these. This essential textbook reveals anthropologists'
often surprising findings and details ethnographic case studies on the cultures of
development. The authors use a fertile literature to examine the socio-political organisation
of aid communities, agencies and networks as well as the judgements they make about
each other. Exploring the spaces between policy and practice, success and failure,
the future and the past, this book provides a rounded understanding of development
work that suggests new moral and political possibilities for an increasingly globalised
world"--
