It explores the changing political ideologies and conceptions of development that continually reshape how aid is defined implemented and assessed and how despite a global commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals we are at a point where the very notion of aid is being questioned and its future is uncertain. Each chapter includes case studies chapter summaries discussions weblinks and further reading to help strengthen the reader's understanding.
