The Transformation of Capacity in International Development delves into the profound shift that has taken place within the development discourse over the years. Through a meticulous discursive analysis of USAID projects in Afghanistan and Pakistan spanning from 1977 to 2017, this book sheds light on the evolution of capacity within the realm of international development. As development agendas increasingly prioritize human rights-based approaches and donor states raise concerns about global security threats, capacity development has emerged as a crucial solution to the complex challenges of development. By examining USAID's efforts to enhance capacity in these two countries, the book unveils how Western notions of progress, shaped by institutions, government officials, scholars, and private sector actors, are obscured by the transformative power of capacity. As these agendas are translated into projects, they perpetuate historical relationships of global inequality, which have corrupted and competed with indigenous models of governance.
The Transformation of Capacity in International Development holds significant implications for those engaged in shaping the future of human rights-based approaches to development, international management of global security threats, and the sustainability of donor investments. It serves as a timely reminder that development efforts must be aligned with the broader goals of promoting equity, justice, and sustainability, while also recognizing the complex dynamics and power structures that shape the development landscape. By exploring the transformation of capacity in Afghanistan and Pakistan, this book offers valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead as we strive to create a more equitable and prosperous world for all.
