Development and Management: Experiences in Value-Based Conflict
Introduced by Tina Wallace and co-edited by Deborah Eade, Tom Hewitt, and Hazel Johnson
Development is a complex process of negotiation over meanings, values, and social goals within the sphere of public action, and not simply a question of project-based interventions, or of quantifiable inputs and outputs. This collection draws on The Open University’s work on development management and includes articles that range from accounts of civil society organisations in Brazil to NGOs in Egypt, and from government departments in Tanzania and Poland, donors in Bangladesh, to black feminist activists in the UK.

‘… challenges received wisdom, covers key issues, and balances theory and practice. Among the contributors there is a good balance between practically oriented academics and reflective practitioners. The book is honest about problems, and provides the raw materials for their resolution without the reader feeling that the book is peddling pet solutions. It meets a real need and should be of interest to students, thoughtful practitioners and scholars alike.’
