The Law Division of AUCA kindly invites to the lecture: "A View from the Field: How International Development Aid Really Works...and How It Should"

October 7, 2016

Time: October 10, Monday 16.00

Venue: AUCA, CH (Conference Hall, 4th floor)

Lecturer: Professor Stephen Golub 

Stephen Golub is an international development scholar, researcher and consultant who has field experience in over 40 countries across the globe; authored dozens of papers on democracy, governance, legal empowerment and the rule of law; and edited several volumes on these topics . He has taught at the Central European University, Tufts University and the University of California at Berkeley. The organizations with which he has worked include Amnesty International; the Asia, Ford and Open Society Foundations; the Asian Development Bank; the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace; the Danish, Norwegian, United Kingdom and United States development agencies; the International Development Law Organization; UNICEF; the U.N Development Programme; the World Bank; many additional development organizations, NGOs and policy institutes; and several law ministries, court systems and other government institutions.

Building on this experience, Mr. Golub will offer a critical look at the dynamics influencing international aid, the factors affecting how projects really perform on the ground and how the field can be improved to perform more effectively in benefiting the countries and populations it aims to serve. He will particularly examine how this plays out in the legal and governance fields, with attention to the emerging approach known as legal empowerment, a growing international effort to integrate rights and development in ways that yield concrete benefits for people.
