Open access book
Margit van Wessel, Tiina Kontinen, Justice Nyigmah Bawole (eds.) - Masters' Programme in Development, Education and International Cooperation (DEICO)
At a time when uneven power dynamics are high on development actors’ agenda, this open access book is an important contribution to researchers and practitioners working on innovation in development and civil society. While there is much discussion of localization, decolonization and ‘shifting power’ in civil society collaborations in development, the debate thus far centers on the aid system. This book directs attention to CSOs as drivers of development in various contexts that we refer to as the Global South. This book take a transformative stance, reimagining roles, relations and processes.
