Using the insights developed in recent work in critical geopolitics, this volume carefully reassesses the policy discourses and practical policies of USAID, showing how the larger canvass of geopolitics worked its way into American development funding and management. From the Marshall Plan through neoliberalism to contemporary concerns with fragile states, this very well-written volume traces the shifting geopolitical priorities of aid policy in its attempts to shape the world in line with American priorities.
