Book Review: Trojan Horses?

Working Papers from eSocialSciences

Abstract: Review of Susantha Goonatilake's 'Recolonisation: Foreign Funded NGOs in Sri Lanka' . Takes up case studies of some leading development and human rights NGOs in Sri Lanka, arguing that NGOs are neither more efficient than the government agencies they replace nor more transparent; indeed that fraudulence is more than likely in the NGO sector given the lack of checks and balances.
