The social and economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and
of extreme climate events have brought into sharp relief the
serious deficiencies of our political economies. The dominant
global ideology of neoliberalism and its architects and
beneficiaries are responsible for this. Bilateral development
assistance is an integral part of the neoliberal grand design.
However, while the deficiencies of neoliberalism have been starkly
exposed by the pandemic, its collapse is unlikely in the
short-term. Much bilateral assistance will therefore continue to be
self-serving. Within these confines, and on the basis of a sharply
critical analysis of the functioning of technical assistance at the
point of the design and delivery of programmes and projects, this
book identifies crucial supply-side nodes of power and influence
where feasible and relatively straight-forward 'functional' reforms
- strategy, structure, selection, training - would make genuinely
developmental results for recipients more likely and enhance donor
interests at the same time. It argues that more authentic,
empathetic, and altruistic technical assistance will be essential
to bringing this about. The arguments are supported by primary,
published evidence gathered by the author during 18 years of
full-time employment as a team leader or programme manager of
technical assistance programmes. The book will be of interest to
students of development management, development economics,
political economy and international relations, as well as policy
makers, development practitioners and supply- and demand-side
government officials.
