Foreign aid and its unintended consequences is a tour de horizon on the impact of development cooperation and humanitarian aid. In his new book Professor Dirk-Jan Koch presents a new lens of looking at foreign aid: identifying unintended consequences, both negative and positive. This new lens should lead to new ways of thinking about aid and development as well as to new ways of working.
The International Institute of Social Studies (ISS) and KUNO present an introduction of this thought-provoking publication, focusing on the humanitarian angle.
