Horizontal Development (eBook, ePUB)

Shifting Power and Privilege in Aid

Beschreibung

Accessible and comprehensive, this book puts forth an innovative perspective on international aid, going beyond top-down attempts to centre local voices and practices.

By providing an overview of newer iterations and overlooked practices in development, including citizen aid, technologies for development, and faith-based humanitarianism, the book explores the extent to which they disrupt existing models and potentially lead to more equitable grassroots-led approaches. The authors develop the concept of 'horizontal development' to examine how power and privilege operate in international and local horizontal development spaces. Examining challenges, they also highlight opportunities for doing things differently in light of prominent calls for decolonising aid and development.

She is fascinated by the myriad way in which people support others, on the margins and outside of the formal aid and development system, and how that shapes our ideas not just of aid, but what it tells us about societies hang together. She currently works with colleagues on informal and mutual aid among displaced people in Myanmar.
