Foreign Aid In A Changing WorldThis book explores the changes in foreign aid in a context of wider economic and political developments. The book analyses the different reasons why some countries seem to need assistance. It critically surveys the values-based and interests-based arguments in favour of aid and its many forms; encompasses the important non-governmental and multilateral dimensions, as well as the bilateral flows, at national and sub-national levels; and focuses particularly on the contemporary emphasis on making aid dependent on democratization and 'good government'. |
