Global Aid Rethink

What’s This Podcast
About?

Global Aid Rethink aims to rethink the current global aid landscape; politically, historically and ideologically.  With funding for development aid at its lowest for decades and the sustainable development goals related to aid significantly off-track, the question of whether we should give aid at all remains divisive as ever – and this podcast is not afraid to ask the difficult questions.  Hosted by Ivica Petrikova, an Associate Professor in Politics and International Relations at Royal Holloway, University of London, and Melita Lazell, Associate Professor in Political Economy and Development at the University of Portsmouth, delivers in-depth conversations with policymakers, practitioners and academics. Key themes up for discussion in the series include recent developments in the UK and US, aid as soft power, as neocolonialism, as extraction and in practice. Global Aid Rethink publishes fortnightly, on Tuesdays, from 22nd April 2025 to 1st July. This podcast was generously funded by the ESRC-funded Royal Holloway Social Science Impact Accelerator  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
