Polish Aid: (the Difficult) Process of Institutionalisation Amid Politics and Society
Słowa kluczowe:
Polish Aid, development cooperation, sociological institutionalismStreszczenie
The publication covers the twenty-year process of institutionalisation of Polish development cooperation and the importance of its socio-political environment for this process: international institutions and organisations, public administration bodies, the non-governmental sector, private enterprises, representatives of the Polish parliament, and citizens themselves, not only those involved in development aid activities.
It presents a diagnosis of the state of the institution based on research, as well as an analysis of the reforms necessary for it in the context of changes taking place in the international environment, including those concerning the balance of power in the development cooperation environment, the growing need for humanitarian activities, and Poland's plan to participate in the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine.
The aim of the book is to contribute to the development of research on the institution of aid from the perspective not only of the hard rules and strategies it outlines, but also of the values and behaviours associated with the culture of aid and co-created by its institutional environment. The publication also serves as a voice in the still niche scientific and expert discussion on Polish Aid, its essence for Poland's international relations as a member of the “club of the richest Western donors,” and its importance for a greater understanding of global challenges and sustainable development by citizens.
