South-South Cooperation in Education & Development

Linda Chisholm, Gita Steiner-Khamsi (eds) (2009). How real is South-South transfer? What does it mean in practice? Why has it become an issue? This volume, the first academic book to deal specifically with South-South cooperation in relation to education, shifts the discussion away from the promotional material of international development agencies and non-governmental organisations (NGOs), to critically look at why so many agencies and researchers in development studies herald South-South transfer as a new type of international technical assistance that propels a more symmetrical relationship between the lenders and the borrowers of educational reforms or projects.
