Transboundary Cooperations in Rwanda: Organisation Patterns of Companies, Projects, and Foreign Aid Compared (Culture and Social Practice)

How is transnational cooperation conducted in practice in the East African country of Rwanda, and how is it organized? Can the worlds of development aid and private business be compared? In this ethnography, Robin Pohl identifies the organizational patterns used by Rwandan, European, and Indian partners. Different types of agencies, companies, or projects each relate foreign activities differently to their local environment. The effects of potential divisions at the global level turn into assets or liabilities on the operative level of transboundary cooperations, depending on their context.
