This book provides a timely, critical, and thought-provoking
analysis of the implications of the disruption of COVID-19 to the
foreign aid and development system, and the extent to which the
system is retaining a level of relevance, legitimacy, or coherence.
Drawing on the expertise of key scholars from around the world in
the fields of international development, political science,
socioeconomics, history, and international relations, the book
explores the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on development aid
within an environment of shifting national and regional priorities
and interactions. The response is specifically focused on the
interrelated themes of political analysis and soft power, the
legitimation crisis, poverty, inequality, foreign aid, and the
disruption and re-making of the world order. The book argues that
complex and multidirectional linkages between politics, economics,
society, and the environment are driving changes in the extant
development aid system. COVID-19 and Foreign Aid provides a range
of critical reflections to shifts in the world order, the rise of
nationalism, the strange non-death of neoliberalism, shifts in
globalisation, and the evolving impact of COVID as a cross-cutting
crisis in the development aid system. This book will be of interest
to researchers and students in the field of health and development
studies, decision-makers at government level as well as to those
working in or consulting to international aid institutions,
regional and bilateral aid agencies, and non-governmental
organisations.
This edited book provides a contemporary, critical and
thought-provoking analysis of the internal and external threats to
Western multilateral development finance in the twenty-first
century. It draws on the expertise of scholars with a range of
backgrounds providing a critical exploration of the neoliberal
multilateral development aid. The contributions focus on how
Western institutions have historically dominated development aid,
and juxtapose this hegemony with the recent challenges from
right-wing populist and the Beijing Consensus ideologies and
practices. This book argues that the rise of right-wing populism
has brought internal challenges to traditional powers within the
multilateral development system. External challenges arise from the
influence of China and regional development banks by providing
alternatives to established Western dominated aid sources and
architecture. From this vantagepoint, Rethinking Multilateralism in
Foreign Aid puts forward new ideas for addressing the current
global social, political and economic challenges concerning
multilateral development aid. This book will be of interest to
researchers, academics and students in the field of International
Development and Global Governance, decision-makers at government
level as well as to those working in international aid
institutions, regional and bilateral aid agencies, and
non-governmental organisations.

Recent challenges facing higher and tertiary education such as the
impact of globalization and the emergence of new technologies, have
called for a radical reconceptualization of the teaching-learning
nexus. This book addresses contemporary contexts of flexible
learning and its practices, and provides insights about directions
in which education and training providers may be required to go in
order to implement flexible learning in a variety of settings. Key
issues and debates include: the social and economic dimensions of
flexible learning and delivery; the implications of globalization
and internationalization for higher education; flexible learning,
knowledge and power; institutional strategies for implementing
flexible learning and delivery; and practicing flexible learning
through media and new technologies. By focusing on practical,
critical perspectives, contributors from the UK, Canada and
Australia present a state-of-the-art picture of the
conceptualization of flexible learning and the implications of
flexible delivery systems for individuals, educational
organizations and industries interested in work-place based
learning.

This volume examines the impact of the Trump presidency on
development aid. It starts out by describing the rise of national
populism, the political landscape and the reasons for rejection of
the political establishment, both under Trump and internationally.
Next, it gives a historical-political overview of development aid
in the post WW-II era and discusses the dominant Washington
Consensus doctrine and its failure. It then provides a critique of
the Official Development Assistance (ODA) discourse and reviews the
political economy of ODA, the discourse, and the conditionalities
that are barriers to socio-economic development. The final chapters
explore the question of Trumponomics as an alternative to the
global neoliberal ODA, and the potential impact of Trumponomics' on
ODA. The book concludes with thoughts on the potential future
directions for ODA within the 'ideals' of Trumponomics and national
populism.
Across the world the Western dominated international aid system is
being challenged. The rise of right-wing populism,
de-globalisation, the advance of illiberal democracy and the
emergence of non-Western donors onto the international stage are
cutting right to the heart of the entrenched neoliberal aid
paradigm. Foreign Aid in the Age of Populism explores the impact of
these challenges on development aid, arguing that there is a need
to bring politics back into development aid; not just the politics
of economics, but power relations internally in aid organisations,
in recipient nations, and between donor and recipient. In
particular, the book examines how aid agencies are using Political
Economy Analysis (PEA) to inform their decision making and to push
aid projects through, whilst failing to engage meaningfully with
wider politics. The book provides an in-depth critical analysis of
the Washington Consensus model of political economy analysis,
contrasting it with the emerging Beijing Consensus, and suggesting
that PEA has to be recast in order to accommodate new and emerging
paradigms. A range of alternative theoretical frameworks are
suggested, demonstrating how PEA could be used to provide a deeper
and richer understanding of development aid interventions, and
their impact and effectiveness. This book is perfect for students
and researchers of development, global politics and international
relations, as well as also being useful for practitioners and
policy makers within government, development aid organisations, and
global institutions.

Assessing the Impact of Foreign Aid: Value for Money and Aid for
Trade provides updated information on how to improve foreign aid
programs, exploring the concept and practice of impact assessment
within the sometimes-unproblematic approaches advocated in current
literature of value for money and aid for trade. Contributors from
multi-lateral agencies and NGOs discuss the changing patterns of
Official Development Assistance and their effects on impact
assessment, providing theoretical, political, structural,
methodological, and practical frameworks, discussions, and a
theory-practice nexus. With twin foci of economics and policy this
book raises the potential for making sophisticated and coherent
decisions on aid allocation to developing countries.
