Book Launch: Yash Tandon's Ending Aid Dependence

Tuesday 4 November 2008, 17:00-18:00
At: Chatham House, 10 St James's Square, London, SW1Y 4LE
Speaker: Yash Tandon, Executive Director, South Centre, Geneva.

If you wish to attend the book launch, please register via Donald Temple.

Ending Aid DependenceIn his new book Ending Aid Dependence, Yash Tandon reviews the possibilities for change in the architecture of aid. The author explores the extent to which many developing countries reliant on aid wish to escape dependence, and yet are constrained from doing so. Proposing that moving away from dependence should be at the top of the political agenda of all developing countries, this timely book cautions countries of the global South from falling into the aid trap and endorsing the collective colonialism of the OECD.
