This work follows the Soros Foundation's educational reform programmes and raises larger questions about the role of NGOs in a centralist government, relationships NGOs have with international donors and development banks, and how projects are adopted and interpreted in different contexts.
"Illuminates not only the contexts that have shaped the education reform initiatives and outcomes of Soros national foundations in the region, but, by extension, what conditions are likely to infuence the success or failure of NGO activities in post-socialist as well as other societies." - Robert F. Arnove, Chancellor's Professor Emeritus of Educational Leadership , Indiana University, Bloomington
