Rezensionen

"Carefully written and lucidly presented, Harper takes readers on a deep dive into the geopolitics of aid provision, making an irrefutable case for why everyone has a stake in human development outcomes."

Helen Clark, Administrator of the United Nations Development Programme (2009-2017)

"A pathbreaking examination of how political economy in aid provision is obstructing progress towards a safer, more equal and socially-cohesive world. Strongly recommended for practitioners, donors and policy makers alike."

Ertharin Cousin, Executive Director of the United Nations World Food Programme (2012-2017)

"A major contribution to the scholarship on development effectiveness. Harper takes the frustration held by many and packages it in a solution-oriented account of how development cooperation can be transformed and strengthened in a pragmatic way but always keeping a people centered approach where their rights are respected, protected and promoted."

Najat Maalla M'jid, Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Violence against Children

"In this highly readable exploration of development processes, Harper sets out a constructive argument for how better outcomes can be achieved by understanding the political economy of aid flows, making better use evidence and fostering innovation."

Gillian Triggs, UN Assistant Secretary-General and Assistant High Commissioner for Protection with UNHCR
