For more than fifty years, international aid for agricultural research has been shaped by an ad-hoc consortium known as CGIAR. Drawing on the best of recent historical scholarship, this book presents a compelling new look at the lasting influence of CGIAR around the world. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
