Institutionalised Dreams by Elbieta Drkiewicz
Using examples from Poland, the author demonstrates how the concept of foreign aid requires the establishment of a specific moral economy which links national ideologies and local cultures of charitable giving with broader ideas about the global political economy.“This brilliant, engaging book… marks a timely response to debates about the changing landscape of central Europe, globalization, the aid industry, and the emergence of new donorsThe book is required reading for anyone concerned with foreign aid or development policy, efforts or projects, and with questions of national identity. It is a valuable resource for those seeking to understand globalization, foreign relations, and society more generally. And, of course, for students of the gift.” • Slavic Review
“This case study of Poland makes a valuable contribution to the ongoing debates about the concept of development by showing the role of international agencies, aid budgeting and lobbying.” • Suzana Ignjatović, University of Belgrade
