Sommario/riassunto

Leadership and Power in International Development: Navigating the Intersections of Gender, Context, Culture, and Sustainability describes the stories and reflections of 20 leaders from Africa, Asia, Europe, Canada, and the United States.  These leaders present lessons learned, strategies, challenges, and successes in easy-to-read narratives highlighting their diverse experiences with context, culture, power, gender and sustainability. The final chapters of the book, written by the co-editors, provide an innovative synthesis of scholarship and practice by presenting a framework for successfully leading international development projects in the 21st century.
