This has increased the pressure on governments and other organisations, such as volunteer sending agencies, which provide aid, and we have seen an upward trend in the number of people volunteering abroad. Within this volatile environment, neoliberal ideology on how aid should be provided and implemented has become embedded in how policy is formulated. A market-driven model of aid provision has become the norm, and governments are increasingly focused on international development volunteering as a form of 'soft diplomacy'.</span></b><br />

The book contributes theoretical knowledge on International Volunteering Sending Agencies (IVSAs) and examines practitioner experience in development volunteering in the context of emerging policy developments. Critical analysis highlights the impact of global and social changes and provides a nuanced understanding of development volunteer motivation, and the relationship between volunteers and sending agencies. The book also puts forward an agenda and model for volunteer sending that addresses the complexities and diversity of the volunteer experience.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 9pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 8pt;">Before she came to academia, Nichole worked in a variety of
jobs, including school teaching and arts management. She also spent a number of
years in the field during the 1990s, variously working as an aid volunteer and
aid organiser/manager in<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><st1:country-region><st1:place><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 8pt;">Japan</span></st1:place></st1:country-region><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 8pt;"> </span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 8pt;">and in<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><st1:country-region><st1:place><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 8pt;">Vietnam</span></st1:place></st1:country-region><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 8pt;">. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 8pt;">It has been said of Nichole’s scholarship that ‘it is her
hands-on and frontline volunteer/aid experience that uniquely endows her work
with perspective, nuance, depth and relevance’. In 2008, discussing the roots
of Nichole’s scholarly work, <i>Asian Currents</i> (e-bulletin of the <b>Asian

<span style="font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 8pt;">Nichole’s interest in the relationship between
government policy and models of volunteering was first piqued in </span><st1:country-region><st1:place><span style="font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 8pt;">Japan</span></st1:place></st1:country-region><span style="font-family: "verdana"; font-size: 8pt;"> where she founded and

raised many questions about ‘development’ both as a concept and industry, and
in particular the role of volunteers in sustainable development projects. After

At times the author reaches back to the 18th century to understand the philosophical, economic and political roots of the contemporary/current situation she explores. Georgeou lays out her case and develops her account with nuanced scholarship. That said, she avoids the coded and cold impenetrability of much academic writing, and her work is at once scholarly, personal, and accessible to non-specialists." </span></span><span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal; line-height: 12.75pt;">---</span><span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 12.75pt;"><a href="http://www.works.bepress.com/rowan_cahill/">Rowan Cahill</a>, <i>Journal of Australian Political Economy</i>, Winter 2013.</span><span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 12.75pt;"> </span></h3>
