Reviews
"A fascinating and deeply researched study. . . . Olav Stokke has done a remarkable job of weaving together this complex story." From the foreword by Louis Emmerij, Richard Jolly, and Thomas G. Weiss, "...a sound reference work...Recommended. --Choice" -- D. P. Forsythe, University of Nebraska, Feb. 2010, Stokke (Norwegian Institute of International Affairs) has written the 11th volume in the United Nations Intellectual History Project. Taking a largely narrative and chronological approach to a vast and complex subject, the author ultimately concludes that the UN's most important contribution to development 'has been to generate and successfully promote globally a holistic development concept, almost consistently keeping the social and human dimensions of development at the core.' He argues that this focus is correct, and that in this respect the UN has been right more often than some other development agencies such as the World Bank's International Bank for Reconstruction and Development. He makes sound points along the way, noting that UN programs have always been lightly funded and operate in a decentralized or horizontally organized system, with much diversity of thought and many political disagreements. There are 62 pages of appendixes filled with data and 114 pages of reference notes. [The author]... provides a sound reference work. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate and research collections. --ChoiceD. P. Forsythe, University of Nebraska, Feb. 2010

Synopsis
The UN and Development provides the first comprehensive overview of the development policies and activities of the United Nations system from the late 1940s to the present. With an explicit focus on the history of the ideas that have been generated, institutionalized, and implemented by UN organizations, this book examines changing trends in development paradigms from the concept of technical assistance to underdeveloped countries, as they were called in the late 1940s, to development cooperation in the 21st century. Olav Stokke traces this fascinating story and demonstrates the UN's essential role and its future challenges in aiding the least developed countries and the globe's billion poorest inhabitants.

- l***c (227)- Évaluations laissées par l'acheteur.Dernier moisAchat vérifiéBook came packaged well to avoid damage, in great condition. Not sure if the seller delayed shipping or if usps didn’t update the shipping, which is highly likely. Still received and we are happy with our purchase. I had trouble looking up tracking due to the company they used but seller found usps tracking and sent that over quickly. Sellers communication was excellent. Would buy from again. Item as described.
- t***n (2908)- Évaluations laissées par l'acheteur.Dernier moisAchat vérifiéI don't give negatives; However, description was not correct; No price guide was included in this book.As you will see in book pic shown; title states price guide included, no price guide inside. Communication poor, description, no communication price guide missing from this book. Shipping time was weeks before it was even shipped. Blamed the shipping on warehouse. You own & operate a business; your warehouse is not up to standards you change who you do business with. It's your responsibility.
- -***6 (133)- Évaluations laissées par l'acheteur.6 derniers moisAchat vérifiéItem arrived as described and adequately packaged. Ridiculously long shipping time. Seller posts incorrect tracking number and lists the item as shipped. Contacted seller for correct tracking, received a new tracking number with the warning that the number won’t be “live” until the item is shipped. Will you get your item? Yeah, probably. Count on it being delivered 2-3 weeks longer than expected.
