{"product_id":"9783030770624","title":"Reflections on a United Nations' Career : An Insider's Account by Ian Howie","description":"This book is more than an autobiographical account of the career of a?young graduate from Australia?who spent his life working as a United Nations official. It is in fact, a critical, indispensable debriefing of a UN insider's account as it follows the life of a development practitioner for more than three decades within the global aid sector.   It also goes where few others have dared to go before, providing first-hand insights into the realities of a UN career official's life. While many throughout the world may wish to join the \"UN family\" or have already become part of the development sector, it is presumed they all have a vision to act as vehicles for positive social change. However, expectations can and may differ once realities have sunk in. The book opens a unique space in the international aid sector - particularly, population security - around elements of personal and professional rewards and costs.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56309578793333,"sku":"9783030770624","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9783030770624.jpg?v=1762812432","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9783030770624","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
