Development and Management -Hardcover

Book Summary of Development And Management 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. About Author : Tina Wallace teaches at Oxford Brookes University. Tom Hewitt and Hazel Johnson are Lecturers at The Open University, UK.
