These\u00a0networks&#8211;maintained, reworked, and given meaning through the practices of the actors who constitute\u00a0them&#8211;bring together assemblages of institutions, knowledges, and commitments that make\u00a0possible and shape the ways in which development is done through them. The authors explore the\u00a0usefulness of concepts of network and assemblage for conceptualizing development, elaborating their\u00a0ideas through two case studies. In the first they discuss colonial officers&#8217; experiences of living and\u00a0working outside the United Kingdom, the ideas and practices that informed this mode of being,\u00a0and their influence on the development work they did both in colonial and in postcolonial contexts.\u00a0In the second they discuss the embeddedness of nongovernmental aid networks in religious, political,\u00a0and other institutions, and the ways in which these institutions fashion the flows of such aid and the\u00a0types of intervention linked to it. Though distinct, the two cases each show the ways in which social\u00a0networks sustain particular intersections between institution, practice, and knowledge in informing\u00a0development. They also suggest different methodological tactics for exploring these intersections. The\u00a0nature of these tactics and their implications for producing knowledge about development networks\u00a0are explored.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>| By A.
