Abstract
The book focuses on the International Development Research Centre as a unique institution that has funded research in the developing South—research proposed and undertaken by Southern researchers—and how it has had tremendous impact despite a relatively small budget. Much care has been taken to avoid “research imperialism.” The IDRC is much better known in the developing South than in Canada, and has provided research funding in roughly 150 countries. An analysis of this “path less travelled” is fundamental to the history of the centre. The book highlights the decisions, ideas, and practices that flow from this premise.
