Aid, Technology and Development: The Lessons from Nepal: The Earthscan Science in Society Series

Editat de Dipak Gyawali, Michael Thompson, Marco Verweij
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 iun 2018
Over the last 50 years, Nepal has been considered an experiential model in determining the effectiveness and success of global human development strategies, both in theory and in practice. As such, it provides a rich array of in-depth case studies in both development success and failure. This edited collection examines these in order to propose a novel perspective on how human development occurs and how it can be aided and sustained.
Aid, Technology and Development: The lessons from Nepal champions plural rationality from both a theoretical and practical perspective in order to challenge and critique the status quo in human development understanding, while simultaneously presenting a concrete framework with which to aid citizen and governmental organisations in the galvanization of human development.
Including contributions by leading international social scientists and development practitioners throughout Nepal, this book will be of great interest to students, scholars and practitioners working in the field of foreign aid and development studies.

Descriere

This book challenges and critques human development as practiced since the end of World War II. Nepal can be viewed as a kind of laboratory for studying the effectiveness and success of global human developments, with nearly all theories and practices attempted here since 1945. As such, it constitutes a rich grounded database allowing the editors and contributors to theorize about aid, development and technology in the 20th century and beyond.
