The Cultural Turn in International Aid is one of the first volumes
to analyse a wide and comprehensive range of issues related to
culture and international aid in a critical and constructive
manner. Assessing why international aid is provided for cultural
projects, rather than for other causes, the book also considers
whether and how donor funded cultural projects can address global
challenges, including post-conflict recovery, building peace and
security, strengthening resilience, or promoting human rights. With
contributions from experts around the globe, this volume critically
assesses the impact of international aid, including the diverse
power relations and inequalities it creates, and the interests it
serves at international, national and local levels. The book also
considers projects that have failed and analyses the reasons for
their failure, drawing out lessons learnt and considering what
could be done better in the future. Contributors to the volume also
consider the influence of donors in privileging some forms of
culture over others, creating or maintaining specific memories,
identities, and interpretations of history, and their reasons for
doing so. These rich discussions are contextualised through a
historical section, which considers the definitions, approaches and
discourses related to culture and aid at international and regional
levels. Providing consideration of manifold manifestations of
culture, The Cultural Turn in International Aid will be of great
interest to scholars, students and practitioners. It will be
particularly useful for those engaged in the study of heritage,
anthropology, international aid and development, international
relations, humanitarian studies, community development, cultural
studies, politics or sociology.
