Development Without Aid - The Decline of Development Aid and the Rise of the Diaspora

Informationen zum Autor David A. Phillips Klappentext "Development Without Aid" provides a critique of foreign aid as a resource that is unable to provide the dynamism to propel the poorest countries out of poverty. It examines the rapid growth of the world's diasporas as an alternative dynamic with potential to supersede foreign aid and drive a reassertion of sovereignty by poor states, especially in Africa, over their own development.
