Frontmatter -- Contents -- Introduction -- Accountability in International Development Advising: When Individual Conscience Is Not Enough -- Criticizing the Impunity? Bridging the Widening Gulf between Academic Discourse and Action Anthropology in Global Health -- Lessons of Kosova on Humanitarian Intervention -- The Integration of Indigenous People in Civil Society -- Advocacy Rhymes with Anthropology -- Consultancy and Advocacy as Radical Anthropology -- Anthropological Consultancy and the Crisis of Globalization -- Talking in Tongues: Consultants, Anthropologists, and Indigenous People -- Anthropology and the State: The Ties That Bind -- It’s a Small World After All, or, Consultancy and the Disneyfication of Thought -- Notes on Contrubutors
Summary: The professionalization of anthropology through practical engagement is a major force underpinning the reformulations of the nature of the anthropological project. It is therefore imperative that anthropologists critically explore the conditions of their practices, to determine the difficulties and limitations to their ethical practice. These essays examine the application of expert knowledge in fields where there is the expectation of considerable cultural, social, and political consequence for human populations as a result of state, corporate, or non-governmental re-organization.
