Klappentext

"Robert Wood's From Marshall Plan to Debt Crisis is an excellent book, a fine piece of scholarship. The book integrates the development of a theoretical approach to international affairs with a careful and thorough treatment of important empirical material. while Wood focuses on the particular issue of aid, he connects the analysis of aid to broader issues of international political economy--development policy, power relations, the debt crisis. This is an extremely important book for anyone attempting to understand international political and economic affairs." --Arthur MacEwan, University of Massachusetts, Boston "Wood has written a compelling book that provides the historical and theoretical context to make sense of the complexities of the international debt crisis. The result is a major contribution to economic sociology that should be read by economists, political scientists, sociologists, and policy makers." --Fred Block, University of Pennsylvania
