Inhaltsangabe

1. Introduction: understanding the unintended consequences of international
development 2. For those who love theory: explaining unintended effects
with complexity theory and bounded policy learning 3. Backlash effects: for
every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction 4. Conflict effects:
fighting over and with aid 5. Migration and resettlement effects:
aid-induced displacement 6. Price effects: when aid drives prices up (or
down) 7. Marginalization effects: can aid unintentionally increase
inequality? 8. Behavioural effects: expect the unexpected! 9. Negative
spillover effects: look beyond your own targets 10. Governance effects:
international development and the social contract, uneasy bedfellows 11.
Environmental effects: uneasy trade-offs between ecology and development
12. Ripple effects: the underestimation of positive effects of
international development efforts 13. Conclusion: 'It's the complexity,
stupid'
