This edited book provides a contemporary, critical and thought-provoking analysis of the internal and external threats to Western multilateral development finance in the twenty-first century. It draws on the expertise of scholars with a range of backgrounds providing a critical exploration of the neoliberal multilateral development aid. The contributions focus on how Western institutions have historically dominated development aid, and juxtapose this hegemony with the recent challenges from right-wing populist and the Beijing Consensus ideologies and practices. This book argues that the rise of right-wing populism has brought internal challenges to traditional powers within the multilateral development system. External challenges arise from the influence of China and regional development banks by providing alternatives to established Western dominated aid sources and architecture. From this vantagepoint, Rethinking Multilateralism in Foreign Aid puts forward new ideas for addressing the current global social, political and economic challenges concerning multilateral development aid. This book will be of interest to researchers, academics and students in the field of International Development and Global Governance, decision-makers at government level as well as to those working in international aid institutions, regional and bilateral aid agencies, and non-governmental organisations.
Once upon a time, the Lord Jesus stood by the well of Jacob in Samaria when a woman who had come to fetch water engaged Him in a conversation, as recorded in the Gospel according to Saint John, chapter four. This thirsty Samaritan woman had come to get natural water, but Jesus ended up offering her living water. The Samaritan woman said to Jesus, Sir, give me this water so that I wont get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water. The chapters of Living Springs: Refreshing the Soul have been drawn from deep wells of inspiration through prayer, worship, and the study of the Word of God. The chapters of Living Springs: Refreshing the Soul as well the contents of the chapters, centre on everyday issues of life. Each chapter ends with a prayer and suggested Scripture quotations for further meditation. But I believe that the Holy Spirit will breathe upon souls each time the pages of Living Springs: Refreshing the Soul are opened and read. I trust that each chapter of Living Springs: Refreshing the Soul will indeed reflect what the Lord said to the Samaritan woman: Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life (John 4:1314 NIV). The devotional pieces contained in Living Springs Refreshing the Soul are great sources of inspiration.. I recommend it. -Rev Dr. Philip Laryea I am confident Living Springs Refreshing the Soul is a Spirit-filled volume that will transform your life from glory to glory and I recommend it wholly. -Rev Nii Clottey Odonkor
