Can the worlds of development aid and private business be compared? In this ethnography, Robin Pohl identifies the organisational patterns used by Rwandan, European and Indian partners. Different types of agencies, companies or projects each relate foreign activities differently to their local environment. The effects of potential divisions at the global level turn into assets or liabilities on the operative level of transboundary cooperations, depending on their context."-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes 6.5 Comparing Development Aid and Private Business Print version record Subject Economic assistance -- Rwanda Cooperation -- Economic aspects -- Rwanda Economic assistance -- Africa Cooperation -- Economic aspects -- Africa SOCIAL SCIENCE -- Customs & Traditions.
