Meeting annually across what we now know as the 'Indo-Pacific', talented administrators facilitated foreign aid provision, and promoted development fuelled state-making, internationalism and experimental regionalism across postwar Asia. David Lowe argues that this new setting and dynamic international cast created an unusually productive diplomatic environment of development internationalism. The Colombo Plan did not escape power politics or Cold War divisions. However, it did run according to its own rhythm, and, unlike other experiments, it endured, continuing today in much reduced form.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Lowe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1009600737\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781009600736\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/31\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 271\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"David Lowe","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47039781535999,"sku":"9781009600736","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_953f95b1-2b2e-4368-8f15-fa387a89a37a.jpg?v=1752752548","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-colombo-plan-david-lowe-9781009600736","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
