ABSTRACT
The message that emerges from this book is that there is one important synthesizing ‘human factor’ in international aid, namely the motive toward social equity, as defined in context. Despite globalization in general, and aid for trade in particular, there remains a primary, perhaps essentially a-economic, role for this particular human factor (Porter et al., 1991, p. 149). Ironically, the nemesis of some aid projects may be the very social injustice and inequity that they seek to correct. Based on local definitions of social justice, social inequity leads to project entropy.
