Zusammenfassung:This book analyses a large Australian aid-funded rural development project, the Magarini Settlement Project in Coast Province, Kenya. The authors describe how it was originated, what is was meant to achieve, and why it failed spectacularly. While they consider why this project failed to fulfil even its minimum goals, they focus on what Magarini has in common with other development projects. They show how the Magarini is symptomatic of current practice, and argue for a more pluralistic approach to development planning. (DÜI-Hff)
