October 2015

A video of David Booth‘s GSDRC seminar is now available below. Dr Booth discussed Politically smart development assistance: can it be done? Speaking at the University of Birmingham on 15 October, he drew on his experience and research in the Philippines to explore issues and debates introduced in his Professional Development Reading Pack on ‘Thinking and Working Politically’. David Booth is a Senior Research Fellow at ODI.

The seminar began with a video about how local reformers revolutionised land rights in the Philippines, which Dr Booth refers to at the beginning of his presentation. Find that video here.

A longer version of this seminar is available here in video and in audio.
