LEADERSHIP AND POWER IN INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT: NAVIGATING THE INTERSECTIONS OF GENDER, CULTURE, CONTEXT, AND SUSTAINABILITY (BUILDING LEADERSHIP BRIDGES)
Book ID/图书代码： 04331419C00076
English Summary/英文概要： We live in an era of drastic changes in relationships between countries and of unprecedented responses to both old and emerging global challenges. Working alongside leaders in developing countries, leaders in international foreign aid and development organizations, non-governmental organizations, and private foundations and companies have driven dramatic changes in our approach to these challenges and to international development more generally. Yet little has been written from the perspective of the leaders telling their stories about leading and navigating the tangle of forces acting upon the course of international development. And even less is known about how leading in international development contexts should be modelled in a way that fosters the development of the next generation of leaders.
Leadership and Power in International Development: Navigating the Intersections of Gender, Culture, Context, and Sustainability brings scholarship up-todate with practice, collecting the stories and reflections of twenty leaders from Africa, Asia, Europe, Canada, and the United States, many of whom have extensive experience leading within major international organizations. In clear, straightforward narratives, the contributors gathered here highlight their diverse experiences with context, culture, power, gender and sustainability, and they offer strategies and lessons learned derived from their own challenges and successes. Building on these narratives, the book offers a new model or framework for leading in international development contexts.
Through an innovative practice to theory process, the first chapter of the book, written by co-editor Julia Storberg-Walker, provides an original analysis of the chapter narratives, and presents a framework for successfully leading international development projects in the 21st century. The framework can be used for designing leadership development programs as well as for future research in leading in international development contexts. Leadership and Power in International Development is essential reading for development leaders, practitioners, and scholars as they continue to confront the complexity of contemporary power-politics.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 我们生活在一个国家关系发生剧烈变化、对新出现的全球挑战作出前所未有的反应的时代。与发展中国家的领导人、国际对外援助和发展组织、非政府组织、私人基金会和公司的领导人一道，推动应对挑战和更广泛的国际发展的方法发生的巨大变化。然而，从领导人讲述他们的故事的角度来看，关于领导和引导国际发展过程中的纠结报道却很少。更不清楚的是，如何在国际发展环境中建立领导模式，以促进下一代领导人的发展。国际发展中的领导和权力：在性别、文化、背景和可持续性的交叉点中导航，使学术与实践同步，收集来自非洲、亚洲、欧洲、加拿大和美国的20位领导人的故事和思考，其中许多人在主要国际组织内具有丰富的领导经验。在清晰、直白的叙述中，聚集在这里的撰稿人强调了他们在背景、文化、权力、性别和可持续性方面的不同经验，并提供了从他们的挑战和成功中汲取的战略和经验教训。在这些叙述的基础上，这本书提供了一个新的模式或框架，在国际发展背景下领导。通过对理论过程的创新实践，这本书的第一章由联合编辑Julia Storberg Walker撰写，对这一章的叙述进行了原创性分析，并为成功领导21世纪的国际发展项目提供了一个框架。该框架可用于设计领导力发展项目，也可用于未来国际发展背景下的领导研究。《国际发展中的领导和权力》是发展领导人和学者继续面对当代权力政治复杂性的必要读物。（YYW）
