520			_aWritten for all those engaged in international development cooperation, Collaboration in International Rural Development provides an immense wealth of practical information and insights into all professional aspects of the field. What distinguishes it from other books on the subject is that it combines the authors’ personal observations (based on their extensive experience as fieldworkers in numerous countries throughout the world and as teachers and administrators) with the scholarship and experiences of others as reflected in the literature. The result is a unique, holistic-systems perspective based on a judicious blend of theory and a how-to approach. George H. Axinn and Nancy W. Axinn provide original analytic tools designed to make practitioners more professional while also addressing current issues and concerns, such as strategic and policy alternatives, program development and implementation, evaluation, gender issues, and communication strategies. The last chapter offers a challenging but optimistic view of the future of collaboration in international rural development. Designed primarily for those working in rural areas anywhere in the world, Collaboration in International Rural Development will be an equally valuable tool for those who are interested in international development, rural development, evaluation methods, training, communication studies, or sociology
