Abstract
Rethinking governance reform in the manner proposed in the preceding chapters suggests that, for donor agencies, ‘working politically’ requires a reconceptualisation of aid programmes as limited interventions in ongoing development processes, plus a more nuanced understanding of putative ‘partners’. How does this approach fit with, or depart from, the major shifts in international aid policy and practice articulated over the last ten years? This chapter addresses this question.
