This collection brings together an interdisciplinary group of
scholars exploring how development financing and interventions are
being shaped by a wider and more complex platform of actors than
usually considered in the existing literature. The contributors
also trace a changing set of key relations and alliances in
development - those between business and consumers; NGOs and
celebrities; philanthropic organizations and the state; diaspora
groups and transnational advocacy networks; ruling elites and
productive capitalists; and between 'new donors' and developing
country governments. Despite the diversity of these actors and
alliances, several commonalities arise: they are often based on
hybrid transnationalism and diffuse notions of development
responsibility; rather than being new per se, they are newly being
studied as engaging in practices that are now coming to be
understood as 'development'; and they are limited in their ability
to act as agents of development by their lack of accountability or
pro-poor commitment. The articles in this collection point to
images and representations as increasingly important in development
'branding' and suggest fruitful new ground for critical development
studies. This book was originally published as a special issue of
Third World Quarterly.
