Localization in Development Aid

This book brings together the work of scholars from different disciplines including sociology, political science and anthropology, and analyses how global institutions are embedded in local contexts within development cooperation. It examines theoretical and empirical implications of the diffusion and anchoring of world polity institutions at local and global levels. Themes and topics covered include: children and human rights, gender mainstreaming, multi-level governance, anti-corruption programming, local ownership, land rights and corporate social responsibility. This book will be an invaluable resource for scholars of localization and globalization studies, and international relations.
