Valuable recent historical perspective. . .diversity of view and authors contained within it, with a suitable mix of academics and practitioners, Northerners and Southerners and men and women . . .This book will be useful for practitioners seeking to make sense of a complex subject, as well as for teachers and students looking for a good, topical introduction to the subject. The combination of critical assessments of NGOs' practice and serious analysis of what might constitute 'civil society' is invaluable. These are the tough questions which are often ducked and which [this book] tackles with vigour. The mix of academic and practitioner contributions, and of contributors from the South and the North, means the book is equally useful for development practitioners and policy makers, and for students of development studies.
