Beskrivning

Development and aid projects often fail to improve technological capacity. Their reform has been a widely acknowledged challenge for three decades. This book demonstrates theoretically and empirically how aid practitioners shape the organizational, social and inter-cultural dynamics of development projects in industry.

It opens up the very common development practice of TA to an analysis that moves far beyond the confines of technical assessment.'- Saul Halfon, Science Technology and Human Values
