In 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. The book will be launched on Tuesday November 4, 2008, at Chatham House, 10 St James's Square, London, SW1Y 4LE. If you would like to apply to attend please email Donald Temple at [email][email protected] stating your name and affiliation.
