It's quite repetitive, but it provides a good understanding of why many development projets don't work (they don't consider the local and social practices). It also questions the implication of Occident countries (specifically in this case, US) in southern countries and shows the inequality on the ground (the US authorities have more power than local citizen) and questions the power of sovereignty.
