Course objectives for Website
· Review the history of international aid from the end of the Second World War, and look at the parallel history of civil society and in particular the growth of international work by NGOs
· Reflect on the concepts of development in their context from the point of view of economics and social development through to more recent ideas around rights/entitlements
· Look at the institutions behind international aid, including multi and bilateral agencies
· Review post cold war changes which led first to a rejection of the role of the state and then to a renewed focus on the role of the State through such mechanisms as General budget support, and supporting policies such as the Paris Agenda
