Globalizers - Development Workers in Action

Informationen zum Autor Jeffrey T. Jackson is an associate professor of sociology at the University of Mississippi. Klappentext In The Globalizers, author Jeffrey T. Jackson studies globalization and development aid in Honduras. While many scholars focus on the transnational corporation, Jackson believes that the international development profession may be even more important for globalization because it is often the development professionals who lay the groundwork for transnationals to establish themselves in developing nations. By drawing upon specific examples of development aid in Honduras, by such organizations as the World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank, Jackson avoids the general, abstract discussion often associated with globalization studies. Zusammenfassung In doing so he makes a persuasive connection between nation building and global governance-raising important questions about whose nations are being built and why.
