Taylor & Francis Ltd Foreign Aid
Book SynopsisForeign Aid: Policy and Practice offers a complete overview of the basics of foreign aid. Who is it for? Who pays for it? Why does it exist? What is it spent on? How much is it? And most important, does it work?The aid debate has been flooded by academic studies and popular books that either challenge or champion the effectiveness of aid. Most presume that the reader already knows the basic facts and characteristics of the aid industry. This book provides readers with a comprehensive summary of the background, actors, core principles and policies, and intended (and unintended) outcomes of foreign aid, followed by a more informed and balanced treatment of the key controversies and trends in aid today. Drawing on the author's 25 years' experience in development practice and 15 years in teaching, the book reflects on recent efforts to accelerate aid's impact and concludes by taking a look at the future of aid and the headwinds it will face in the first half of thTrade Review"An important and timely book as Foreign Aid is being rethought to account for climate change and pandemics. Prof. Pomerantz offers a magistral sweep of the who, why, what, and how of foreign aid and its transformation over six decades, informed by her long experience as practitioner and academic. The book provides both students and practitioners with a clear analysis of the debates on aid modalities and effectiveness. A must read for anyone interested in international affairs."Jean-Louis Sarbib, Former Senior Vice President, The World Bank"Aid is often considered an arcane subject, debated by econometricians and decided by high-level policymakers. This book brings the subject down to earth. Written in an engaging style, the book covers the many controversies surrounding foreign aid and development, while giving the reader a sense of how decisions actually get made. Phyllis Pomerantz distills her experience as a development practitioner and professor to give students knowledge, skills and, most importantly, the ability to make a difference."Shantayanan Devarajan Professor of the Practice of International Development, Georgetown University, USA"Phyllis Pomerantz brings the calm wisdom of an experienced veteran to the polarized debate on foreign aid. She shuns panaceas, because she deeply understands the nuances on how to make aid work better. This is required reading for aid practitioners and those who care about world poverty." William Easterly is Professor of Economics at New York University and Co-director of the NYU Development Research Institute, USA"This excellent introduction to foreign aid covers all of the key issues, from its basic logic and procedures, to the evolution of the international institutions that have sought to coordinate aid policies, and to recent economic debates about how to make aid more effective. Balanced, clear and readable, this is likely to become the standard text book on the topic." Nicolas van de Walle, Maxwell M.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Humanitarian Parent
Book SynopsisAid sector staff work in some of the world's most challenging environments, from conflict zones to sites of natural disaster and refugee camps. For a long time, the aid worker was typified by the lone white male, flying from place to place and seeing his family during the holidays. But now, as the world changes and the sector diversifies, how can family life be reconciled with the challenges and travel commitments of this particularly difficult career? This book delves deep into these challenges, exposing the problems that persist and pointing a path for organisations to adopt a more human-centred, staff-centred, parent-centred, feminist approach to humanitarian and development work. Drawing on the author's own experiences as an aid worker, as well as extensive original interviews and desk research, the book looks at the challenges faced by those who aspire to a family life, from finding a partner who is willing and able to live in the same location, to dating in difficult coTrade ReviewThe Humanitarian Parent is a watershed addition to the discourse about what it means to be human and purposeful in the humanitarian sector. Hietanen left no stone unturned. The Humanitarian Parent provides a provocative glimpse into what are at once the deeply personal and yet systemic contradictions, paradoxes and intersectionality of parenting in the humanitarian sector.Lucy Ellis, Founder of AidMamas, the global community of mothers in the humanitarian and international development sectorThe Humanitarian Parent is an important contribution for its critique of the organizational culture in the humanitarian sector through a feminist lens and neo-colonial lens. Through its honest and very relatable anecdotes, it is a moving and genuine conversation around the ‘perfect’ humanitarian vis a vis the needs of the affected community, and if appealing to traditional humanitarian archetypes weighs down efforts of fostering genuine progress in the sector.Dr Jessica Hazelwood, Humanitarian Expert This book was so much needed! And it is urgent for all of us to read it. Merit describes the struggle of many of us, parents in the humanitarian field, with depth and empathy, with a broad perspective that, while it acknowledges privileges and advantages of many of us, it bring us together on the challenges we face when becoming parents. Virginia Perez, Chief of Program, UN. Mother of two If you work in the humanitarian or development sector, you need to read this book, irrespective of whether you have children or not. Merit Hietanen depicts compellingly the dire need for a more feminist, anti-colonial, and overall more humane working culture and offers insights into getting there.Liisa Ketolainen, Specialist in gender equality and international relationsIn The Humanitarian Parent, the author explores the realities faced by individuals working in theaid sector, challenging the traditional narrative of a male-dominated field. Drawing on personalexperiences and research, the book sheds light on the complex dynamics of balancingprofessional responsibilities with parenthood. It highlights the increasing presence of womenand mothers in the aid sector, while acknowledging the unique challenges they face. The bookalso addresses the lack of support for working mothers and the impact of cultural norms onwomen’s ability to balance work and family life. Overall, The Humanitarian Parent offers valuableinsights into the intersection of gender, parenthood, and humanitarian work, emphasizing theimportance of supporting gender equality and family-friendly policies in the workplace. Mays Nawayseh, Humanitarian Specialist, MotherMany of us, humanitarians, will recognise bits of our own life on the pages of the Merit’s book The Humanitarian Parent. It will be interesting for humanitarian parents and equally to those who have yet to discover how the humanitarian lifestyle impacts (or often replaces) every single other aspect of human existence. I particularly appreciate the deep dive into the diversity of struggles among the humanitarian workers: not all challenges and people are the same, but all are equally valid. Yuliya Chykol'ba, Humanitarian Mine Action Specialist and co-host of the Ukraine series in the Trumanitarian podcastThe Humanitarian Parent has captured an intimate and detailed account of the challenges and impact aid work has on the family life of staff in the sector. It offers a mosaic of complex and contrasting experiences, with numerous observations and arguments that countless people in the field will be able to relate to and commiserate with, as well as insight for those considering a career in aid work – noting that priorities often change over time and the importance of better understanding the consequences of decisions and sacrifices as it reflects across cultures and genders. Through this book I believe Merit Hietanen provides readers with a sense of fellowship within a community that has too often struggled in seclusion when it comes to matters of the family and work balance. I am grateful to Merit for her efforts in articulating with such clarity feelings and conditions I have struggled to frame and understand when weighing career aspirations against my own role as a husband and father.Teddy Leposky, Operations Officer, UNHCR UkraineTable of ContentsIntroductionPART IThe humanitarian workplace and what it does to parents1 The work culture in a humanitarian workplace2 Why is change necessary and how do we get there?PART IIFor the ones thinking about having children3 Making a decision about having children4 Childless not by choice and how to get out of itPART IIILife of a parent in the aid sector5 Mothers who work on national contracts6 LGBTQIA+ parents7 Single mothers8 Trailing spouses or unemployed aid workers9 Fathers10 The humanitarian nannies: the dependency of aid parents on domestic staffPART IVA sector in change: where do we go next?11 What have policies given us?12 Making humanitarian contexts more compatible with parenthood13 Parental leave: where are we and where should we go?14 Office hours and flexible working arrangements: what needs to change?Epilogue
