International Development: A Postwar History

International Development: A Postwar History is the first historical overview of international development policies and practices in the period between 1945 and the 1980s, studying the activities of international organizations, national governments and transnational actors. Drawing on examples of development projects in different parts of the world and with different actors involved, Corinna Unger bridges the gap between discourse and practice as well as between the “developed” and the “underdeveloped” world. This book is ideal for students of international history or politics seeking to understand the transfer of ideas and practices across national borders and cultures.
