Between a rock and a hard place

About this book

"This book helps to explain the widespread enthusiasm for African NGOs during the 1990s, and why it has waned in recent years. It does so through a fine-grained analysis of NGO and community dynamics, presented in the context of a broader theoretical discussion of the global transformations that contributed to the explosion of NGOs. This empirically rich multi-scaled analysis makes this book unique - not only as a volume of NGO case studies, but also as an experiment of applied social science in the context of globalization."--BOOK JACKET.
