Marginal in status a decade ago, cash transfer programs have become
the preferred channel for delivering emergency aid or tackling
poverty in low- and middle-income countries. While these programs
have had positive effects, they are typical of top-down development
interventions in that they impose on local contexts standardized
norms and procedures regarding conditionality, targeting, and
delivery. This book sheds light on the crucial importance of these
contexts and the many unpredicted consequences of cash transfer
programs worldwide - detailing how the latter are used by actors to
pursue their own strategies, and how external norms are
reinterpreted, circumvented, and contested by local populations.
