In almost all African countries the political elites are uninterested in leading a development process. Western donor countries and institutions have largely turned a blind eye to this situation, and indeed aid has become an important resource in maintaining anti-developmental states. By contrast, in almost all other successful development episodes--such as in East Asia--the state has played a key role.

This book places the arguments in the context of the Make Poverty History campaign of 2005, the outcomes of the G8 summit in Gleneagles, and the WTO summit in Hong Kong. It also broadens the scope to address the American approach to aid and the new "transformational diplomacy" agenda.]]> 508520 0.0 0 1 1275671 1860303102 9781860303104 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1275671.Positive_Energy 0.0 0 144747 0.0 0 0 188954 4.23 39 13 508520 0.0 0 1
