Institutionalised Dreams: The Art of Managing Foreign Aid


Add your own review!

Overview

Using examples from Poland, Elzbieta Drazkiewicz explores the question of why states become donors and individuals decide to share their wealth with others through foreign aid. She comes to the conclusion that the concept of foreign aid requires the establishment of a specific moral economy which links national ideologies and local cultures of charitable giving with broader ideas about the global political economy. It is through these processes that faith in foreign aid interventions as a solution to global issues is generated. The book also explores the relationship linking a state institution with its NGO partners, as well as international players such as the EU or OECD.

Reviews

This brilliant, engaging book... marks a timely response to debates about the changing landscape of central Europe, globalization, the aid industry, and the emergence of new donors. The book is required reading for anyone concerned with foreign aid or development policy, efforts or projects, and with questions of national identity. It is a valuable resource for those seeking to understand globalization, foreign relations, and society more generally. And, of course, for students of the gift. * Slavic Review This case study of Poland makes a valuable contribution to the ongoing debates about the concept of development by showing the role of international agencies, aid budgeting and lobbying. * Suzana Ignjatovic, University of Belgrade
