This work draws on a wide range of postcolonial and critical
development scholars to construct a critical theoretical framework
and to provide productive lens through which to make sense of the
changing language, content and practice of Western aid
interventions in Africa and other postcolonial societies, and to
reveal continuities and discontinuities in the global architecture
of aid. In particular, the study locates recent discourses on
development and poverty reduction within the broader historical
continuum of power inequalities in relation to international
development cooperation and global governance generally.
Mawuko-Yevugah argues that the new multilateral poverty reduction
framework does not represent a rupture in Western discourses,
policies, representations in Africa and other postcolonial settings
and that, conceptions such as civil society, partnership, ownership
or participation in the poverty reduction discourse produces new
technologies of governance where a IFIs- elites consensus
legitimizes the neoliberal hegemonic agenda.
