Global development actors such as the World Bank and the
International Monetary Fund claim that the shift to the poverty
reduction strategy framework and emphasis on local participation
address the social cost of earlier adjustment programs and help put
aid-receiving countries back in control of their own development
agenda. Drawing on the case of Ghana, Lord Mawuko-Yevugah argues
that this shift and the emphasis on partnerships between donors and
poor countries, local participation, and country ownership
simultaneously represents a substantive departure from earlier
versions of neo-liberalism and an attempt by global development
actors and local governing and social elites to justify, and
legitimize the neo-liberal policy paradigm. This book shows how the
new architecture of aid has important implications in three
distinct but related ways: the discursive construction and
production of post-colonial societies; the changing focus of
Western aid and development policy interventions; and the
reproduction of the politics of inclusive exclusion. The author
provides detailed and original research on the new development
paradigm and develops a critical theoretical approach to re-think
conventional analyses of the new discourses on aid whilst offering
a fresh, alternative interpretation of changes in international aid
relations.
