This work comes at an important time of global crisis and change,
where the world is ravaged by natural disasters, wars and poverty.
This has increased the pressure on governments and other
organisations, such as volunteer sending agencies, which provide
aid, and we have seen an upward trend in the number of people
volunteering abroad. Within this volatile environment, neoliberal
ideology on how aid should be provided and implemented has become
embedded in how policy is formulated. A market-driven model of aid
provision has become the norm, and governments are increasingly
focused on international development volunteering as a form of
'soft diplomacy'. This is the first qualitative empirical study of
international development volunteering. The book contributes
theoretical knowledge on International Volunteering Sending
Agencies (IVSAs) and examines practitioner experience in
development volunteering in the context of emerging policy
developments. Critical analysis highlights the impact of global and
social changes and provides a nuanced understanding of development
volunteer motivation, and the relationship between volunteers and
sending agencies. The book also puts forward an agenda and model
for volunteer sending that addresses the complexities and diversity
of the volunteer experience.
