Reinventing Development

Aid Reform and Technologies of Governance in Ghana

Beschreibung

This book shows how the new architecture of aid has important implications in three distinct but related ways: the discursive construction and production of post-colonial societies; the changing focus of Western aid and development policy interventions; and the reproduction of the politics of inclusive exclusion. The author provides detailed and original research on the new development paradigm and develops a critical theoretical approach to re-think conventional analyses of the new discourses on aid reform whilst offering a fresh, alternative interpretation of changes in international aid relations.
