The Aid Triangle
Recognising the Human Dynamics of Dominance, Justice and Identity

Focuses on the human dynamics of the myriad relationships underlying international aid; from impoverished farmers to aid workers; donor diplomats to multilateral beaurocrats; and, celebrities to activists. This book illustrates how the aid system incorporates power relationships, and therefore relationships of dominance.

"Making Aid Work" elucidates how the psychology of political reality - at all levels of aid relationships - constitutes the gravitational field in which human dynamics try to orientate themselves. Written by three authoritative academics with the dirt of aid and development under their fingernails, this book beckons a new paradigm for aid by thinking it through, in Schumacher's words 'as if people mattered'.
