This book explores the influence of private United States (US)
philanthropic foundations in the governance of global problems.
Through a close scrutiny of four high profile case studies of
public-private collaboration, the work addresses the vacuum present
in global governance scholarship regarding the influence of
foundations, arguing the influence of these actors extends beyond
the basic material, and into the more subtle and complex ideational
sphere of policy and governance. This book:
- charts the growth of private forms of governance and
foundations role in deepening and extending private power in global
politics
- provides a historical examination of private foundations in
international affairs including their centrality in the development
of the institutional architecture in international health and
agriculture and the linkage back to domestic political systems
- analyses the new modes of philanthropy and giving styles
particularly venture philanthropy and philanthrocapitalism and how
these are being rearticulated in the aid architecture and in
development discourses
- evaluates distinctive features and unique attributes of
foundations as transnational actors (including their limitations)
how they use these attributes when exercising policy influence and
how they negotiate and collaborate with other state and non-state
actors in global governance
- provides an introduction to three prominent foundations Gates,
Rockefeller and the Acumen Fund and four key partnerships IAVI,
GAVI, AGRA and A to Z textile Mills.
This work will be of great interest to students and scholars of
international organizations, international political economy and
development studies.
