Swaziland 7. India 8. Brazil 9. The Ethics of Intervention 'Penn has visited the places she describes, so she is able to give first-hand accounts ... Penn concludes these shocking snapshots of an international disgrace with positive suggestions about what can be done ... It is a powerful story well told.' - Times Educational Supplement 'Penn ... gives an insight into the practices of governments and international non-governmental organisations. By summarising discourses on these key theories it is possible for readers from all disciplines to understand the key issues being addressed. Further, the language used throughout the book makes it easily readable and understandable.' - Children's Geographies
