Abstract
In this chapter Novelli and Robertson examine the changing relationships among education, international development aid, and the merging of security and development. In particular the authors consider the possibility that the War on Terror, just like the predecessor conflict the Cold War, threatens to prioritize geopolitics as the new rationale for development policy with potentially damaging effects for the promotion of a more needs-based global development policy that concentrates on the poorest and most needy countries and population sectors. Within this view, framings of potential disaster become the basis for development policy.
