Does Aid Work?: Report to an Intergovernmental Task Force (The Library of Political Economy) - Brossura
Sinossi
The controversy surrounding the effectiveness or counter-productivity of foreign aid is one of the great issues facing the world today. The first edition arose from a study conducted by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, concerning the effectiveness of aid. Now in this thoroughly revised and updated second edition, Robert Cassen incorporates the research and debate in this area since 1986. He has updated the text and tables, added a section to each chapter reviewing recent findings, and removed some of the highly technical parts of the text, making this edition accessible to a wider audience of students approaching the topic for the first time as well as specialists in development economics. The analysis reveals that most aid succeeds in terms of its own objectives and obtains a reasonable rate of return. At the same time, the report analyzes the failings of aid projects, compares these failings with other forms of private and public investment, and proposes measures for improving aid effectiveness.

paperback. Condizione: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Paperback. Condizione: New. The question of the effectiveness or counter-productivity of foreign aid is one of the great issues facing the world today. This volume arose from a study conducted for an inter-governmental task force. The team surveyed the published literature, reviewed existing evaluations of aid projects, and undertook seven detailed country studies. The basic finding is that the majority of aid succeeds in terms of its own objectives and obtains a reasonable rate of return. At the same time, this book analyses the frequent failings of aid projects, compares these failings with other forms of private and public investment, and proposes measures for improving aid effectiveness.New to this edition:For the second edition the book has been shortened, removing mainly the more technical parts. The data in the text and tables have been brought up to date, the text has been revised, and each chapter has a new section added reviewing the areas of debate and research findings since 1986. The bibliography has also been updated. Codice articolo LU-9780198773863
