Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. A study prepared for the World Institute for Development Economics Research of the United Nations University (UNU-WIDER). Foreign aid is one of the few topics in the development discourse with such an uninterrupted, yet volatile history in terms of interest and attention from academics, policymakers, and practitioners alike. Does aid work in promoting growth and reducing poverty in the developing world? Will a new 'big push' approach accelerate progress towards the Millennium Development Goals or will another opportunity be missed? Can the lessons of almost half a century of aid giving be learnt?
