I guess it might need to be said I specifically work in Agricultural and Rural development in developing countries (Afghanistan at the moment) not something that talks about working in say western Europe (which I have done and had not problems, learned quite a bit actually).
Any suggestions on books that deal with managing nationals in “developing countries” would be exactly what I am looking for but can’t seem to find (I have found a few possibilities on Amazon but still not quite what I am looking for). Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Managing nationals? Sounds more like brainwashing to me,Afghanistan , how can you indulge in attempting to enlighten a nationality that still lives with 1,000 year old teachings?May i suggest you go to Cambodia where they are ready for your teaching process and nobody in the country realy cares , not even World-Vision it seems , they are only interested in thier own 'Comfort' zone at best , do not even answer e-mails about pertinant points of self sustinance which is of paramount importance with the high escalation of day to day living costs on about #1.00 a day .Colin .
