Mircea Eliade and the Dialectic of the Sacred
No Customer Reviews
* Broad historical narrative of foreign aid and development * Emphasis on human capital development rather than economic development The failures of foreign aid have drawn many assumptions into stark focus: the assumption that aid is reaching the bottom end of the socio-economic ladder, that those most capable of forming policy are in the Western academy, that decisions about where aid should go can be separated from culture and history. Picard and Buss know that continuing to discuss aid's problems using tired ideas won't work. They take an unconventional approach by placing aid in the context of larger foreign policy goals and by extending the history of aid beyond WWII. Simplifying the complex world of foreign aid with all its diversity and meanings, the book serves as a contemporary introduction to a suprisingly old idea. Foreign Aid, Security and Diplomacy in a Post-September 11 World adopts both policy and normative perspectives, allowing readers to really get around the issues. It reveals the problems that remain and importantly, what can be done to fix the system. This text will serve as an invaluable introduction to students studying foreign policy and economic development, but also to practitioners who want a fresh view.
