Rethinking Aid: an analysis of the programs, practices and effects of aid programs in 2010 Haiti

Bachelor thesis | Cultural Anthropology and Development Sociology (BSc)

A global narrative has emerged in which the West are selfless, compassionate givers in times of crisis for their poor, "third-world" neighbours. This thesis critically examines the aid response in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake to assess how much of its ensuing consequences were not exceptions to the rule, but in fact, direct and predictable results of the aid policies themselves that call this narrative into question.
