The central message of The Development Dance is that if we want to know whether an aid delivery mechanism is likely to be sustained over the long term, we need to look at whether it induces credible commitments from both donor agencies and recipient governments over the long term.
Haley J. Swedlund is Assistant Professor in the Nijmegen School of Management at Radboud University.
"The Development Dance is clearly written, always smart, and a real pleasure to read. Haley J. Swedlund interviewed hundreds of aid officials on both the government and donor sides, and she makes remarkably adept use of the interviews to illustrate aid dynamics."
Jonathan Fisher, coauthor of Africa’s New Authoritarians:
"The Development Dance is an interesting, important, and well-conceived work that explains why donors select the aid modalities and delivery mechanisms that they do, and why they so frequently and readily drop one and take up another. Haley J. Swedlund draws on an extensive and illuminating set of empirical data."
