The Foreign Aid Regime: Gift-Giving, States and Global Dis/Order - Hardcover

by A. Furia (Author)

The author develops an original interpretation of foreign aid by analysing it as a particular domain of international government. She demonstrates how foreign aid practices are contemporary forms of gift-giving that have made recipient countries and populations governable due to a continuously renovated and expanded debt of development.
