Description

"What makes this history of IDRC so important is that it highlights the critically important role of this agency in enhancing the research capacity of institutions and scholars in the global south via partnership with Canadian institutions and scholars. This is a story of international cooperation for development that very much needed to be told, and the authors tell it very well---mostly from the perspective of the IDRC leadership from its inception with David Hopper until the Maureen O'Neill years. Each leader over the past forty years made a specific and notable contribution. How they did so, under changing political conditions, makes fascinating reading." Henry Veltmeyer, International Development Studies, St. Mary's University, Halifax, NS; author of Tools for Change: Handbook in Critical Development Studies (2010) "Bruce Muirhead and Ronald Harpelle have produced an engaging, richly detailed, and timely book. Their accessible history demonstrates how a Canadian Crown corporation has become a global leader in advancing research for development that reflects the priorities and concerns of developing countries. They show how IDRC has been consistently ahead of the curve and has positively contributed to Canada's international reputation. This comprehensive volume reveals why this institution should make all Canadians proud. I strongly urge you to read it." Adam Sneyd, Department of Political Science, University of Guelph This book focuses on the International Development Research Centre as a unique institution that has funded research in the developing South---research proposed and undertaken by Southern researchers---and how, as a result, it has had tremendous impact despite its relatively small budget. One of IDRC's founding principles was its insistence on having Southern researchers decide which projects would be put forward for possible funding, and much care has been taken to avoid "research imperialism" or "colonialism." An analysis of the road less travelled, but a road IDRC found amenable, is fundamental to this history of the centre, and the book highlights the decisions, ideas, and practices that flow from this basic premise.
