Since 9/11 ideas of security have focused in part on the development of ungovernable spaces. Important debates are now being had over the nature, impacts, and outcomes of the numerous policy statements made by northern governments, NGOs, and international institutions that view the merging of security with development as both unproblematic and progressive. This volume addresses this new security–development nexus and investigates internal institutional logics, as well as the operation of policy, its dangers, resistances and complicity with other local and national social processes. Drawing on detailed ethnography, the contributors offer new vantage points to understand the workings of multiple, intersecting, and conflicting power structures, which whilst local, are tied to non-local systems and operate across time. This volume is a necessary critique and extension of key themes integral to the security– development nexus debate, highlighting the importance of a situated and substantive understanding of human security.

With the launch of Agenda 2030, public-private partnerships were heralded as an important means to realise the Sustainable Development Goals and to provide more sustainable development financing in the global south.This book explores public-private partnerships from the bottom up, drawing on extensive empirical research in Ethiopia to illuminate the diversity of practices, arrangements and contradictions that the public-private partnership agenda enables, generates, and occludes. Despite the omnipresence of PPP talk among governments and international organisations, donor and recipient agencies, and private actors, there exists no universally agreed definition of PPP, and in practice it encompasses a remarkable diversity of activities and arrangements. This book zooms in on public-private partnerships in Ethiopia, considering what actors they bring together, what power dynamics they produce, how it alters them, what it says about state-society relations and how it infuses the individual Ps of PPPs with context specific meaning. By investigating how public-private partnerships play out in practice, the book sheds new light on how this ambiguous but proliferating discourse is changing the meanings, processes, and mechanisms of international development.This book illuminates the unseen consequences of translating bold sustainable development goals strategies into practice, and will be of interest to researchers and practitioners of international development.

Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork within the World Bank and a Ugandan ministry, this book critically examines how the new aid architecture recasts aid relations as a partnership. While intended to alter an asymmetrical relationship by fostering greater recipient participation and ownership, this book demonstrates how donors still seek to retain control through other indirect and informal means. The concept of developmentality shows how the World Bank’s ability to steer a client’s behavior is disguised by the underlying ideas of partnership, ownership, and participation, which come with other instruments through which the Bank manipulates the aid recipient into aligning with its own policies and practices.
