Democracy Struggles

NGOs and the Politics of Aid in Serbia

Beschreibung

Theoretical contribution: the book unpacks culturally-framed and locally-circumscribed phenomena through looking at structural inequalities and through embedding them in global historical processes of political and economic shifts. Substantial ethnographic material and thick description to support arguments, based on long ethnographic fieldwork in an understudied geographic area (Serbia). The topic of the book is analyzed through many inter-related angles. Rather than a monography of an organization or of a development project (as many already existing books do) it offers a multi-loci and multi-scalar perspective to understand societal restructuring and democratization interventions.
