The emergence, or re-emergence, of numerous nations as partners and donors in international development – from global powers such as Brazil, China and India, to Gulf states such as Saudi Arabia, to former socialist states such as Poland and Russia – has become a subject of intense interest and analysis. From Recipients to Donors explores the range of opportunities and challenges this phenomenon presents for poorer countries and for development policy, ideology and governance. Drawing on the author’s rich original research, whilst expertly condensing published and unpublished material, this unique book is an essential critical analysis and review for anyone interested in development, aid and international relations.
