Lessons on Foreign Aid and Economic Development “This edited volume brings together 12 different chapters that each address important aspects of the political economy of foreign aid. The contributions are wide-ranging, covering everything from the impact of aid on political institutions and health outcomes to recipient-donor relationships and the political motives of aid allocation. These chapters deepen our understanding of how to evaluate and assess various aid practices, and as such are an impressive contribution to the field.” —Emily Skarbek, Political Theory Project, Brown University “Providing foreign aid to developing countries influences international relations. For example, many industrialized countries have experienced increasing immigration since the early 2000s. Does foreign aid help to promote economic development in recipient countries which, in turn, will give rise to less migration from developing countries? Donor countries pursue strategic objectives when providing foreign aid. Do these objectives relate to changes in government ideology such as from Barack Obama to Donald Trump? This book deals with political-economic determinants and consequences of foreign aid. Experts portray the extent to which aid helps to fulfill its intended purposes. Clearly, political-economic determinants and consequences of foreign aid have been examined for a long time. During changing international relations, this book is published at the right time.” —Niklas Potrafke, Professor of Economics, University of Munich, Ifo Institute “Development policy has become a tensely discussed, politically contested and often misunderstood policy area; in particular the debate around development aid is confusing. This book provides a timely, concise and comprehensive analysis of this urgent issue. It asks important questions and helps to understand successes and failures of development aid.” —Andreas Freytag, Professor of Economics, Friedrich Schiller Universität Jena
