Biography
George M. Guess is an Adjunct Professor in the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University, USA. He is the author of Building Democracy and International Governance (Routledge, 2018) and co-author, with Thomas Husted, of International Public Policy Analysis (Routledge, 2016).
“International Development Management’s practical, core-issue contributions will be of considerable value to current and aspiring professionals in public and non-governmental positions. The detailed and engaging case studies and experiential exercises provide outstanding practical learning opportunities. Professor Guess’ extensive experience in the field and as a public administration professor richly informs his treatment.”
Peter Koehn, Professor Emeritus in Political Science, University of Montana, USA“International development projects, however carefully researched and elegantly designed, often fail at the implementation stage because of the unanticipated challenges facing project managers. George Guess’s important new book offers operational remedies to these challenges. It is a must read for aspiring development professionals.”
Andrew S. Natsios, Executive professor, George H.W. Bush School of Government and Public Service; Director, Scowcroft Institute of International Affairs, Texas A&M University, USA"Guess’ book offers insight into, and skills to navigate, the most difficult managerial challenges of international development, from weak institutions to corruption to under-resourced budgets. The light-hearted approach is chock-full of examples and deceptively effective to equip the next generation of international aid managers."
Christine R. Martell, University of Colorado Denver, USA
