▼ The effectiveness of
foreign aid measured by Official Development Assistance has been a controversial issue since 1960s. In this thesis, I disaggregated the components of the total net ODA, focusing on
foreign aid for the health, education, economic infrastructure and production sector, and government and civil society using data from 110 countries between 1995 and 2014. Furthermore, I disaggregate health, education, economic and government
aid data into grants and net loans allowing the effect of each component to differ.
I find that an annual health grant of one percent of GDP decreases infant mortality by over 3% and increases life expectancy by approximately 2% over the five years but found no significant effect of health loan on health outcomes. This may be due to the reason that about 85% of the average health
aid (averaged over 1995-2014 for all countries in the sample) is health grant and the remaining 15% is health loan. However, the positive effect of health
aid on life expectancy does not imply a positive relationship of health
aid and GDP per capita since I find that 1% increase in life expectancy is associated with approximately 0.9% increase in population considering the general equilibrium approach. Moreover, the average health
aid is considerably large compare to their governments’ average public health expenditure (including borrowings and grants from international source) for some countries in South of Sahara region, raising a concern for
aid dependency.
The results for education outcome suggest that an annual education grant of one percent of GDP is associated with 7% increase in years of schooling over the five years but found no significant effect of education loan on education outcome. However, I find negative relationship of economic
aid and investment while positive relationship of
aid for government, civil society and rule of law is detected.

▼ Ghana has had a well-documented dalliance with many donor countries and multilateral donor agencies since the 1960s. However, in his Independence Day speech in March 2017, the President, Nana Addo-Dankwa Akufo-Addo signaled his intent to pursue the vision of a Ghana that is not dependent on aid. This led to the commissioning of the Ghana Beyond Aid Committee to draw up the roadmap for achieving this objective. The main objective of this study therefore is to examine the government’s new direction of taking Ghana beyond aid to know what it means, the options to foreign aid the government seeks to explore and how it intends to achieve this aspiration as well as the prospects and challenges that could result from this new direction. To achieve the set objectives, the study employed qualitative methods by relying on primary and secondary sources which include face to face interviews, books, journal articles, reports and internet sources. The study found that the approach to a Ghana Beyond Aid is not a radical rejection of aid. Rather, it takes a gradualist approach by building capacity to go beyond aid. It also found that aid will be leveraged alongside domestically mobilized resources to eventually go beyond aid. These alternative sources to aid include both foreign and domestic options like a 100 year sovereign bond, municipal bonds as is the practice in Rwanda, broadening the tax base, fiscal prudence in the public sector and leveraging natural resources as has been done in the 2018 Sinohydro agreement. The study concludes that although the vision of a Ghana beyond aid is a laudable one, it can be achieved when there is agreement among politicians on the direction of the nation when it comes to its development trajectory.

▼ Foreign aid, inherently political in its nature and deeply embedded into the states’/organizations’ external relations, has been a
subject of intensive analysis. The academic literature concerning
foreign aid reveals that the topic of international assistance is a complex heterogeneous
subject, since a number of factors directly or implicitly shape
aid, these being institutional characteristics, domestic and international politics, as well as the role of public opinion. Moreover, International Relations scholars argue that
aid policies differ tremendously depending on the channel through which the international assistance is disbursed. As a result,
aid has been classified into bilateral, multilateral and multi-bi, where each of these channels has been associated with specific characteristics. In fact, on the basis of the donor’s trends in the employment of these channels, implications could be drawn about the overall
foreign aid policies of traditional state donor. Yet, it is controversial whether the same approach could be used when considering other fund providers, such as international organizations, which feature peculiar arrangements. Especially intriguing is the case of the European Union, due to it being reputed as highly humanitarian international organization, which also contributes large volumes of
aid. This research aims by expounding the trends in the Union’s employment of
aid channels to explore the extent to which these are correlated to and indicative of its overall
foreign aid approach.

▼ Foreign aid constitutes an important source of developmental funding for many African states including Ghana. In 2018, the government of Ghana announced an intention to pursue an Agenda to build ‘Ghana Beyond Aid’ through the prudent management of the countries resources. This work seeks to look at the sustainability of the “Ghana Beyond Aid” agenda by examining the interpretations and purpose of “Ghana Beyond Aid”, elite consensus on pursuing a “Ghana Beyond Aid” and the challenges and prospects of the agenda. The study employed the qualitative research methodology and relied on both primary and secondary data for the analysis. Primary data were sourced from the Ghana Beyond Aid Secretariat, Parliament, Civil society, Development partners, Academia, NDPC and Political parties via interviews. The study found that, “Ghana Beyond Aid”, is subject to so many interpretations which all reflect a decreasing relevance of aid relative to its contribution to development in a changing context of development cooperation. However, two broad interpretations have been derived: the literally concept, implying a complete cut or rejection of aid and the purposive concept, referring to the vision for Ghana to attain economic self-sufficiency and wean itself from aid dependency. Also, the study revealed an underlying consensus on the need for Ghana to strive for self-sufficiency in line with the purposive concept of ‘Ghana Beyond Aid’. It was however found that, forging a bi-partisan consensus on the implementation of the agenda across governments is difficult to reach due to the dangerously competitive nature of the country’s political template. ‘Ghana Beyond Aid’, the study showed, presents Ghana with the opportunity to make the most out of its resources to get out of aid dependency. It also calls for a commitment to increased domestic resource mobilization, accountable leadership, a fight against corruption and wastage.

▼ China, as an emerging donor, has attracted growing international
attention and raised grave concerns about its impact on the
international aid regime. Despite its distinctive aid norms and
practice, and its refusal to align with the international aid
regime, China is conducting an increasing number of trilateral
aid projects with traditional donor states and multilateral
development agencies. As this new trend of cooperation has not
received sufficient academic attention yet and remains poorly
understood, this research project proposes to fill the gap and
probe into the main factors driving Chinese trilateral aid
cooperation. At a time when China’s foreign aid is increasing
substantially and its impact on the traditional aid architecture
remains unclear, this research will also enrich the debate on
Chinese foreign aid. Moreover, as foreign aid is an integral part
of China’s foreign policy since 1950, this thesis hopes to
facilitate our understanding of China’s foreign policy through
the lens of foreign aid.
I am drawing upon constructivism and cognitive learning theories
in the analysis, and taking a three-layered approach that brings
together China’s national interests, international engagement
and domestic institutions. This study has focused on the Asia–
Pacific region and analysed in detail three case studies
involving Chinese trilateral aid cooperation with the United
Nations Development Program, Australian and the United States in
Cambodia, Papua New Guinea and Timor-Leste respectively.
Based on my research, the thesis argues that China’s adoption
of trilateral aid cooperation reflects China’s stronger desire
for global image building as a responsible great power and its
increasing desire to learn through growing international
engagement on development cooperation. Implications are also
drawn for future cooperation between traditional
donors/multilateral development agencies and China.

▼ In 2000, the World Bank estimated that 2.8 billion people lived on incomes of less than $2.00 a day. Meanwhile about forty percent of the world's population endured conflict, most of them from the same subset. The implementation of
foreign assistance to mitigate poverty and conflict is a key focus of politicians, bureaucrats and social scientists. The goal of this research is to discover relationships among
foreign aid, conflict, and socio-economic development, and assess the implications.
Other evaluations either approach this issue from a hedonistic, theoretical standpoint, or follow a stylized project evaluation method. This research is intended to create a bridge between the two approaches by: 1) proposing theoretical models of assistance and conflict accounting for current status quo, and 2) introducing novel empirical methods to analyze the causes and effects of development, intervention and conflict.
The research begins with a comparative analysis of different schools of thought concerning
foreign intervention, conflict and development. Contemporary philosophies and policies provide the basis for assumptions and inquiries addressed in the latter part of this dissertation. The review is followed by a critique of relevant data and their sources. A theoretical model of
foreign assistance allocation and its possible impacts on conflict is proposed. The theoretical model is verified through an empirical examination using inductive casual inference methods. It is concluded that under current mandates and policies, aggregate
foreign assistance has no effect on conflict and development in poor countries.
Research is then directed toward analyzing the effect of
foreign assistance on conflict, disaggregated by sector. Agricultural and food security assistance were identified as the most effective method of mitigating conflict. The next segments of research concentrate on agricultural development. A model of agricultural development is proposed that will promote food security and mitigate conflict. In the last analysis, a direct causal relationship is found between commodity prices and conflict. Findings are summarized in the conclusion, and recommendations are provided for policy re-evaluations.

▼ The objectives of
foreign aid are closely associated with the global political and economic issues during the last 60 years. In recent years
foreign aid flows have been considerably influenced by international terrorism. In this paper I attempt to investigate whether and how sectoral
aid has affected international conflicts and intra-country violence.
The analysis is initiated by case studies. I use graphical analysis to examine the rationale and disbursements of sectoral
foreign aid to Iraq and Afghanistan from 2002 to 2010. It is discovered that
aid for agriculture and food are extremely low in these conflict areas. Then I use a comprehensive panel data to show the relationships between conflicts/violence and sectoral
foreign aid covering 123 developing countries from 2002 to 2010. It shows that agricultural
aid can significantly reduce conflict, and
aid for food security can significantly mitigate violence.
Aid for some sectors will increase conflict/violence. Finally I use directed acyclic graphs (DAG) to present preliminary results on the structure of causality among conflicts/violence and sectoral
aid, showing that
aid to government is positively associated with both conflict and violence.

▼ This paper examines the role of China’s national identities and the impact on its
foreign aid policies and practices. The multiple identities shape China’s role as a development partner in pursuit of economic cooperation with
aid recipients and that seek to engage with traditional
aid donors in terms of
aid delivery.
To explore the influence of national identities-the victimhood identity, the developing country identity and the rising responsible power identity behind China’s
foreign aid policies and behaviors, this thesis uses a solid theoretical foundation-Constructivism. It analyses two empirical cases, the Fiji and the Cook Islands from 2006 to 2013, drawing from a large chunk of literature from English and Chinese publications, government documents, and relevant websites.
The thesis finds that China’s
aid policies and behaviors are mainly consistent with its victimhood and developing country identities. The country regards itself as a development partner rather than an
aid donor and places great emphasis on mutual benefit and non-interference principles with a large proportion of its
aid focused on infrastructure, construction-based projects. However, it also uncovers that China has started to address
aid recipients’ demands. The country has also learned how to handle
aid programs from other donor countries, such as Australia and New Zealand, which is incorporated into China’s new rising responsible power identity.
The research aims to challenge the dominated rationality-based analysis and hopes to trigger further discussion about China’s
aid and development.

▼ Foreign aid represents an important source of finance in most countries in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), where it increases government’s expenditure, supplements low savings, narrow export earnings and thin tax bases. In this paper, a welfare utility maximization function is used and the necessary diagnostic tests undertaken to determine how government spending respond to
aid flows. It employs a co-integrated error correction model to account for potential endogeneity and non-Stationarity problems. The empirical results indicate that the flow of
foreign aid does influence government spending patterns. It supports the hypothesis that in Ethiopia, during 1966 – 2013,
foreign Aid has a positive effect on total government expenditure.
Foreign aid is fungible in Ethiopia, it flows to unintended purpose. Disaggregating the data into capital and non- development expenditures, like general service expenditure and defense expenditure, the relationship has been examined. Capital expenditure is positively and significantly affected by
foreign Aid and also
Foreign Aid finances Non- developmental Expenditures. The study also provides evidence that policy change increases total and capital expenditures significantly. Taking into account
Foreign aid influences government expenditures positively the government has to design effective strategy that enhances flow of
foreign aid to the capital expenditure and protecting from non-developmental sectors.

▼ Most studies about the relationship of
foreign aid and economic growth are usually cross country studies which often found inconclusive or mixed results. On the other hand, there is very little in the empirical literature which looks on a single country time series data and mostly on focused Sub-Saharan Africa. This paper deviates from the mainstream empirical literature by investigating the
aid-growth relationship on Ethiopia. Using a growth equation inspired from an outward-oriented neoclassical production function and cointegration methodology this paper finds the existence of a long term relationship between
foreign aid and economic growth for Ethiopia. This paper found that
foreign aid has a negative effect on economic growth in the short run and becomes positive in the long run. Using Granger Causality technique this study also found that there is Evidence to support the presence of unidirectional causality of
foreign aid to economic growth for Ethiopia.

▼ FOREIGN AID AND DEMOCRACY: THE CASE OF TANZANIA Fekadu Handino Addis Ababa University, 2014 This thesis discusses the role of
foreign aid on democratization processes and democratic consolidations in Tanzania; increasingly,
foreign aid has become a tool used by western countries in attempts to promote the emergence or consolidation of democracy in other countries. But what is the relationship between
foreign aid and democracy? Does
foreign aid promote democracy? If so how? Tanzania became independent in 1961 from British colonial rule. While most neighboring states have gone through violent conflicts, Tanzania has managed to implement extensive reforms without armed political conflicts. After independence, Tanzania under the charismatic leadership of Nyerere developed African based socialism “Ujamaa family-hood” which saw independence as a means of self- reliance and not depending on
foreign aid. After the policy of Ujamaa failed, Tanzania has become highly dependent on
foreign aid for developments. Hence, Tanzania is an interesting case for the
foreign aid and democracy research. This study first explores the ways in which Tanzania introduced multi-parties in1992 and the role of donor countries. The question is residing what role
foreign aid has played in this case? The Second part o f this thesis has discussed democratic consolidation in Tanzania and the role of
foreign aid. The question to what extent is Tanzania moving towards consolidation of democracy and the role of donor’s countries is analyzed. The analysis is based on secondary documents and semi structured interview collected in the period September 2013 to March 2014. The main finding of this thesis is that,
foreign aid has brought political reform in Tanzania, which is highly manifested by the founding of multi-party system even though it is difficult to say that
foreign aid has brought democratic consolidation in Tanzania, because a democratic consolidation embraces various features in it. There for, Tanzania can do much better in the consolidation of democracy in the country if she depends not largely on
foreign aid but on here people, cultural system, experiences and values.

▼ Countries in sub-Saharan Africa depend heavily on foreign aid to finance their development efforts. In this paper an account of the effect of foreign aid on human development in Kenya is provided. Several analytical frameworks are applied including descriptive statistics and performance modelling using ordinary least square method
In this paper I discuss the result of research into the effect of foreign aid on human development, rather than focusing on growth and investment as is common in the existing literature. I look at how aid impacts on a range of key human development indicators, including measures of health, education and longevity of life. Overall, aid is found to have a substantial positive impact on most development outcomes in Kenya. It is concluded therefore that, a policy of selectivity be adopted for more impact to be realized on human development in Kenya, this is in line with the world bank recent policy on aid disbursement to developing countries
The paper is composed of five chapters as follows. Chapter 1 is the introduction, which includes the background, statement of the problem, objectives and significance of the study. Chapter 2 is the review of the relevant literature, it includes theoretical, empirical and an overview of that literature. Chapter 3 provides the methodology which includes model specification, hypothesis and data source and type. Chapter 4 provides empirical analysis, results and limitations, while chapter 5 gives the conclusions and policy recommendations

▼ There have been various forms of foreign aid to developing countries of which Ghana is a
beneficiary. Many theories have been attributed to the inception of foreign aid to less
developed countries. In some researches, Foreign aid have been attributed to having a great
impact on poverty reduction however, there are other studies which have come out with
findings that show that foreign aid does not have an impact on poverty reduction. This research
therefore seeks to examine the trends of foreign aid to Ghana and ascertain whether the foreign
aid received by Ghana has had any impact on poverty reduction from the periods 2008 to 2018.
Relevant Time series data on the variables used in the model were obtained from the World
Bank and Ministry of finance indicators. This provided the necessary data for which inferences
were made. The data for the study was first tested for stationarity of the variables. The Bounds
Test for cointegration was also employed to test whether there exist a long-run relationship
among the variables.
Findings indicate that there appears to be no important effect of foreign aid on poverty
reduction in Ghana. An amount of factors can be ascribed to this unfortunate long-term
outcome of foreign aid. Developing nations like Ghana can depend on trade and international
direct investment to strengthen their capital markets and empower institutions and individuals
to reduce the poverty rates in the country.

▼ This literary analysis focuses on the correlation between foreign aid and corruption. The “Capabilities Approach” by Amartya Sen is used to discuss how to, and who is responsible for, developing an ethically justified aid policy. Arguments and ideas from five different sources have been analyzed. The primary sources are African Development by Todd Moss, Corruption and Development by Georg Cremer, Lord of Poverty by Graham Hancock, The White Man’s Burden by William Easterly, and Internationalisation of corruption by Daniela Herrmann and Clare Fletcher. This study analyzes three questions. Firstly, does foreign aid affect the level of corruption, and how? Secondly, how do you measure development and justice? Thirdly, who is considered accountable? The results show that there is a connection between aid and corruption and that the aid agencies together with the governments have the primary responsibility to improve the policy and reconstruct the organizations. The policy should focus on enhancing the quality of life of the individual.

▼ Research on the relationship between regime type and foreign aid allocation is limited in theoretical explanations and empirical support. This research attempts to fill this gap by aiming to find out why autocratic and illiberal governments give foreign aid, recognizing that aid provision is not peculiar to the liberal democracies. This study suggests a different theoretical mechanism for the assistance of non-democratic countries. I argue that, in non-democratic and illiberal countries, the nature of the relationship between the leader and business elites affects the aid allocation in terms of motivation and preferences over aid policies. Countries with illiberal and autocratic regime types become donors due to the political influence of business elites, given that foreign aid policies benefit business elites, particularly those that are politically influential. Concurrently, in these countries, business elite configuration influences the preferences of aid allocation. Using data from the Enterprise Survey, OECD and AidData, this study employs quantitative analysis and finds that non-democratic and illiberal regimes with high influence from the business elites are more likely to provide aid and in much higher amounts. Besides, using data from the World Bank and AidData, the findings of quantitative analyses show the dominance in the business elite structure drives the leaders to provide higher-value aid projects with less variation in the aid sector to the nations in-need. Robustness checks are implemented with alternative tests.

▼ Poverty remains, despite efforts by the advanced economies to address it, a constant challenge in the world, particularly in Africa. The African continent has been riddled with poverty for decades. The factors that lead to and sustain poverty in African countries are varied and differ from country to country. However, historical factors, political instability, poor economic policies, a lack of education, disease, population growth, as well as climatic and environmental factors are key examples of some of these contributing factors. Today, Uganda is considered to be one of the poorer countries on the African continent, and for decades, despite large amounts of
foreign aid inflow, there has been no significant improvement in relation to poverty reduction. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether
foreign aid contributed to economic growth in Africa, with Uganda serving as a case study. Using data from 1987 to 2011, the Autoregressive Distributed Lag was employed to test for the existence of the long-run Augmented Dickey-Fuller test for stationarity and the Ordinary Least Square regression analysis was used to test for the relationship between the variables. The results show that
foreign aid has a significant negative effect on economic growth in the long run. The lesson for policymakers is that
aid can improve economic growth in the long run, if and when facilitated by quality institutions. Other policy recommendations are included

▼ This thesis identifies the gaps in the literature on
foreign aid, and tries to fill some of them focusing particularly on Niger, a country that has received
aid since its independence in 1960, yet remains one of the world's poorest. The work contributes to the literature in three ways: First, it addresses moral hazard: the relationship between the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the country is analysed through a historical case study. Niger's requests for assistance are accompanied by promises to undertake reforms; however, once
aid is disbursed, these undertakings rarely materialize. Despite this record of poor (and deteriorating) compliance, IMF
aid continues to flow, engendering perverse incentives and moral hazard. Secondly, it analyses whether
aid is associated with poverty reduction.
Aid is correlated with poverty, which is to be expected due to its pro-poor targeting nature. However, this study found increases in poverty associated with communities which were recipients of
aid. To shed more light on this, households receiving
aid were compared with those receiving no project assistance at all, and with households who benefited from non-
aid based development projects. The results showed that changes in poverty levels among
aid recipient households were not statistically different to those among households receiving no assistance. However, households benefiting from
aid under-performed those who benefited from other projects. Thirdly, it explores whether
aid brings utility to households through the provision of public goods. The results suggest that
aid projects do help households. However, other sources of development projects are more efficient at doing so. Information is the key: it is a vital prerequisite for projects to address the needs of the population, and not all donors have the same information. Information can be obtained through co-funding projects with other donors, although there are also coordination costs. The models estimated allow the prediction of the benefits a project could provide to a household. Such predictive abilities could allow policymakers to coordinate donors' initiatives to maximize their effectiveness. However, at present Niger lacks the capacity to achieve such coordination. Furthermore, such an approach would involve having to reduce the least efficient donors to mere providers of finance (i.e. channel their resources through other donor types), a role they might not be willing to accept.

▼ Foreign aid represents about 1 percent of the United States federal budget, but it also represents a significant portion of many recipient countries’ gross domestic products. Although there has been substantial interest in foreign aid among international political economy researchers over the last decade or so, there are still few if any answers to the most basic questions: who gets foreign aid, how much, and is it effective? Through a combination of cross-national analyses and a quantitative case study of Afghanistan during the Taliban insurgency of 2003–2009, this dissertation seeks to advance our understanding of the utility of foreign aid as a foreign policy tool for the United States. The results indicate several important findings. First, U.S. economic assistance is directed toward deserving recipients despite claims focusing on strategic interests. Second, both economic and military aid from the U.S. to its allies have reduced the level of political development in those countries, whereas aid to nonallies has had beneficial results. Finally, aid has limited utility as a weapon against insurgencies: civilians respond positively to the number of certain types of projects, but the actual amount of money spent has no effect. The ultimate conclusion is that aid is a useful tool of foreign policy in preventing and combatting the breakdown of political order if it is applied correctly.

▼ The essays in this dissertation are variations on a single theme-how do legislative attempts to constrain the executive branch impact
foreign policy outcomes? Conventional wisdom on US
foreign policy is split. Some argue that domestic politics no longer stop "at the water's edge," and the president is constrained by Congress in
foreign policy just as in domestic policy, particularly when economic interests are at stake. Others contend that Wlidavsky's "two presidencies" thesis is alive and strong, and the legislature places relatively few constraints on the president's
foreign policy. My research, presented here, shows that the true relationship is much more nuanced. Placing the policy preferences of the primary political actors on a single, unidimensional scale oversimplifies the issue. In fact, Congress is concerned more with domestic policy, but
foreign policy can bring substantial domestic repercussions. In trying to manage those domestic effects, Congress constrains the types of tools that the executive branch can use. The first easy investigates Congressional oversight of the International Trade Com- mission: ITC). A sizable literature finds that members of the Congressional oversight committee have used their positions to influence ITC decisions in favor of constituents who seek trade protection. But, reviewing the history of the ITC and the legislation that governs it, I find that the oversight mechanisms put in place were insufficient to lock in this type of preference. Using and original dataset that quantifies witness testimony before the ITC, I find that previous studies have overlooked the substantial political pressure on the ITC from domestic companies that oppose trade protection, as well as from those that seek protection. The ITC remains constrained by Congress, but Congressional oversight reveals far more diverse trade preferences than previously documented in the ITC literature. The second and third essays focus on US
foreign assistance policy. In the second essay, I highlight the role of
foreign assistance accounts in the annual budget battles between the president and Congress. These accounts include the authorizations dictating how the
foreign aid can be use and, therefore, what impact
foreign assistance will have on domestic constituents. While most of the
foreign aid literature focuses on which countries receive
aid from the United States, that debate is less likely to be important to Congress. Using a novel dataset that records the president's request for
foreign aid along with the Congressional appropriation, I am able to show that the differences between the president and Congress are much greater across the different accounts than than across the different recipients. In other words, Congress leaves the president discretion to determine where
aid is sent, but retains a firm hand over how
aid is spent. Finally, in the third essay, I illustrate how the Congressional focus on
foreign aid accounts constrains the use of
foreign aid. I show that the allocation of
foreign…

▼ Foreign aid as an economic policy was previously widely accepted as a way to assist least
developed economies to achieve economic growth. Over the years,
aid effectiveness has
been questioned, whilst
aid dependency has continued to rise. To assist in
aid reduction,
various economists have proposed
aid exit strategies that countries could adopt to reduce
aid dependency. However, the adoption of these strategies has been rather slow. The
purpose of this study was to review and assess the current literature on the different
proposed
foreign aid exit strategies, in terms of their feasibility and ease of implementation, taking into account the current state of African economies. The analysis focused on the exit strategies recommended by Tandon (2008), Moyo (2009) and Fee (2012). The main finding of this study suggests that the aforementioned exit strategies are feasible, but not necessarily easy to implement, due to the limitations faced by many least developed countries.

▼ Foreign aid has shaped the economies of Sub-Saharan
Africa since independence. There has been passionate debate as to
whether this has helped or hurt Africa’s poor economies. One of the
downsides to
foreign aid is the effect it can have on appreciating
the real exchange rate and on harming the competitiveness of
export-oriented sectors in favour of producers of non-traded goods.
I find that the influence of
aid flows on the real exchange rate
varies greatly across countries, and that movements in the real
exchange rate driven by
foreign aid have been overshadowed by
policy changes and structural adjustment.

Purchasing Counterterrorism: Three essays on foreign aid and

▼ Governments often use the allocation of foreign aid
when seeking to gain cooperation from and to boost the capacity of
recipient governments in a variety of policy realms. However, there
is no consensus among political scientists and economists about
whether aid is actually a productive means of achieving either of
these ends, nor on what political and strategic factors may lead
aid to have beneficial or deleterious effects. My dissertation
examines several factors that condition the effectiveness of
foreign aid (U.S. foreign aid in particular) in gaining cooperation
from and boosting the capacity of recipient states in the realm of
counterterrorism. Specifically, I am interested in what factors may
cause foreign aid to have perverse effects on cooperation, and in
what contexts those factors operate. For instance, I argue that
recipients of U.S. assistance who are also involved in an
interstate rivalry have incentive to play-up the level of terrorist
activity in order to continue receiving assistance to finance their
rivalry. Similarly, I find that the effect of foreign aid on
counterterrorism cooperation varies across domestic political
structures, with foreign aid leading to the opposite of its
intended effect in regimes characterized by personalist political
institutions. Finally, in the latter part of the dissertation, I
attempt to move toward a more direct test of the relationship
between foreign aid and terrorism. The current state of knowledge
is simply a consensus that some association exists, though there is
even disagreement over the true direction of that relationship. In
my view, the reason for this is that a critical link in this
process has been overlooked: the changes that occur in host states'
behavior as a result of them receiving aid. To address this
shortcoming, I conduct detailed case comparisons of two pairs of
cases. The first pair of cases is selected based on the presence or
absence of interstate rivalry (Pakistan and Bangladesh), while the
second set contains variation on regime type (Indonesia and Yemen).
This case selection strategy provides some inferential leverage to
determine whether differential counterterrorism outcomes are
attributable to this variation between cases. Furthermore, case
comparisons allow me to explore in greater detail counterterrorism
effort in a variety of contexts, a concept that has yet to be
measured quantitatively. This represents a step toward a more
precise understanding of the foreign aid-counterterrorism
relationship.

Foreign Aid Delivery, Donor Selectivity, And Poverty: A

▼ Under what conditions does aid improve general
welfare? This dissertation provides an answer to this important
question by examining the causal relationship between donor
decision-making and outcomes. While the conventional study of aid
effectiveness focuses on what happens to the aid in the recipient
country, this study focuses on the role of donor governments. At
the heart of the theory is the decision-calculus of donors whose
goal is to maximize aid success in the recipient country.
Specifically, I focus on donor decisions about how to deliver aid,
and how these decisions affect poverty in the recipient country.
Donors use different tactics to deliver their bilateral assistance,
including government-to-government and non-state development
channels (e.g. NGOs, multilaterals, and private contractors). My
central argument posits that donor expectations about the
likelihood of aid capture in the recipient country induce
systematic donor decisions about the selection of aid delivery
mechanisms. What informs donor expectations about aid capture is
the quality of recipient institutions. Badly governed institutions
signal a high probability of aid capture, leading to low levels of
donor confidence. In such environments, outcome-oriented donors
will take actions to decrease their aid's sensitivity to aid
capture ex ante by insulating the aid from government intervention.
They bypass weak and corrupt government structures and channel the
aid through alternative channels of development. By integrating the
strengths and weaknesses of the recipient country's governance
systems into the design of aid delivery mechanisms, donors are more
likely to reduce poverty, as measured by infant health. I
illustrate donor decision-making through interview evidence
gathered from 22 face-to-face discussions with senior officials
from major donor governments (U.S., France, United Kingdom,
Germany) and their implementing agencies. I test my argument using
quantitative methods. I find that donors systematically condition
delivery mechanisms on the quality of recipient governance, all
else equal. I also show that the (endogenous) donor bypass decision
reduces infant mortality in poorly governed
countries.

▼ Billions of dollars have been spent to promote democracy and economic freedom through U.S. foreign aid, but little is known about its impact. The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) is the leading U.S. organization that promotes democracy and economic freedom throughout the world. Since its founding, NED has been the subject of immense discussion and controversy. The goal of this dissertation is to provide insight into the promotion of democracy and economic freedom through an analysis of NED’s activities during the 1990s. The analysis does not find evidence that NED was successful at promoting democracy and economic freedom during the 1990s. Even though NED grant money appears to have been appropriately awarded to countries based on their need, the grant money did not have a significant impact on political and economic freedom. This calls into question the wisdom of using the U.S. government’s scarce resources to promote democracy and economic freedom – not only through NED, but in any similar manner.

▼ Although much attention is given to the
problems facing developing countries, extreme global stratification
continues to exist. In this dissertation I consider the role of two
factors in the global development system:
foreign aid and
international non-governmental organizations (INGOS). Using data
from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development
(OECD) I construct measures of
Aid Attractiveness using social
network analyses that report the level of popularity or importance
of recipient countries to OECD donor-countries. I examine how a
developing country’s attractiveness for
foreign aid impacts the
number of INGOs there, and vice-versa, from 1960-2005. I also
examine how a country’s past attractiveness for
foreign aid, and
number of INGOs, relate to a set of indicators of development in
2005. My results indicate that there is a
significant, longitudinal relationship between
Aid Attractiveness
and INGOs in developing countries. Being more attractive for
aid
(i.e. popular amongst donors) in one time period positively
predicts the number of INGOs in that country five years later. And,
the number of INGOs in one time period positively predicts the
Aid
Attractiveness of a country five years later. I also find that a
country’s past
Aid Attractiveness positively, and significantly,
impacts levels of development in 2005. However, a country’s past
number of INGOs is not significantly related to its level of
development. I consider my dissertation to be a
contribution to the interdisciplinary field of global development,
generally, and the sociology of global stratification and
international organization, specifically. I pose a number of
questions in this dissertation to be considered in future projects
on
aid, INGOs, and development.

▼ This dissertation consists of three essays on the impact of non-market financial flows in developing countries. The first essay answers two questions. First, to what extent are remittances (as private transfers) differentiable from grants (as public transfers) in their effects on capital formation and growth? Second, how might the motivations to remit inform the nature of the relationship between remittances and growth? Using a sample of four developing countries, results suggest that remittances and grants, in fact, do behave differently. Remittances have no significant relationship with investment for all but one country (remittances are positively correlated with growth for Bangladesh). Grants’ impact on investment is negative in Egypt, positive in Pakistan and Syria and insignificant in Bangladesh. Migrants’ motivations to remit are found to be different across countries. Enlightened self-interest motivation to remit is the most likely cause of growth impacts in Egypt. A combination of self-interest and enlightened self-interest explains the growth impact in Bangladesh. Finally, a combination of migrants’ altruistic behavior and self-interest attitude explains the growth impact in Pakistan and Syria.
The second essay demonstrates the allocation of
foreign aid between consumption and investment with special emphasis on the importance of reverse flows in developing countries. Using a panel of 61 countries from 1980 to 2006, results indicate that, on average, 23 to 25% of any increase in
foreign aid has been directed towards financing reverse flows. 78% was consumed and an insignificant amount was invested. Additional investigation suggests that almost 50% of
aid is used for reverse flows in Sub-Saharan Africa, 19% in the Americas and 16 to 20% in North Africa, Asia and the Pacific.
The third essay examines how remittances are allocated between consumption, investment and reverse flows in developing countries. Using a panel of 36 countries from 1980 to 2006, results suggest that almost 80% of any increase in remittances/GDP was consumed. With respect to investment, remittances had to statistically discernable effect on rate of investment. Additionally, 20% of any increase in remittances was diverted as reverse flows and contributed neither to increase consumption nor to investment.

▼ During the Cold War, U.S. foreign aid was mainly used to fight against the potential Soviet military threat and to support allies. Containing Communism was the non-negotiable goal in U.S. foreign policy. With the end of the Cold War and the rising force of globalization, aid-providing developed countries in the West, including the United States, emphasized political conditionality attached to aid in order to encourage political reforms, such as democratic political process and securing human rights, in aid-recipient developing countries. This study uses pooled cross-sectional time series data covering 112 countries for the post-Cold War years of 1990-2009 to examine the effects of U.S. foreign aid allocation on human rights, especially physical integrity rights. The findings suggest that U.S. foreign aid [economic, military, and total aid] did have an impact on a government's respect for human rights in recipient countries, but that the association was negative: an increase in foreign aid from the United States is associated with less protection of human rights. Even though the good will of the chief administrators to promote human rights was explicit, implementations to achieve such a goal through foreign aid seem to fall far short of their promises.

▼ This thesis examines the ways in which the Canadian and British bilateral donors—the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA, now Global Affairs Canada) and the Department for International Development (DFID)—have approached the intersections of religion and development. While DFID has been increasingly attentive to the topic, no significant government initiatives on religion in development have been launched by its Canadian counterpart since the early 1990s. Despite their seemingly divergent approaches to religion, the
aid cultures of both donors are shaped by Western assumptions about “religion” and “the secular” that are not always shared by program communities. These assumptions, which are evident in both funding patterns and discourse, have the potential to marginalize local perspectives. Government donors exude significant influence on contemporary development practice and thus have the potential to play an important role in efforts to reform the dominant
aid culture; however, given the intersecting inequalities manifest on both a global and local level, such efforts are convoluted and contentious.

▼ The adage that there is ‘no security without development and no development without security’ (commonly referred to as the security–development nexus) has become the dominant discourse of Western donor engagement with the developing world since the 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States (US). This thesis argues that the existing literature on the nexus, as seen from a critical neocolonial and securitisation lens, is Western-centric in its parochial attention to the conceptual, policy and programming concerns of the Western donors. As a result, the literature excludes the voices of the local recipient countries on this subject, robbing them of their agency and subjecthood. By doing this, the literature is inadequate in explaining the deeper level politics of the nexus that are present on the ground in the recipient countries. Therefore, this thesis takes a decolonial approach, using a case study of the Kerry-Lugar-Berman Act in Pakistan to explore the politics of the security–development nexus with regard to the issues of ‘sovereignty’ and ‘agency’. The thesis argues that the security–development nexus activates a dialectical power struggle between donor and recipient countries and between different actors within the recipient countries that use the indivisibility of security and development to advance their strategic interests over each other. For instance, the nexus has enabled the US to influence the national security policies and civil–military relationships of Pakistan, challenging its sovereignty. However, the local actors in Pakistan, notably the political and military stakeholders have not been passive bystanders; they, too, have exerted their agency to co-produce the nexus and use it to their own advantage, such as by modernising their armed forces or promoting civilian supremacy in the country. The thesis demonstrates that the security–development nexus is not only a Western donor construct but also actively constructed by recipient countries like Pakistan, which mould it to serve their own interests. Recognising this co-constitutivity allows the prevailing understanding of the security–development nexus to be simultaneously enriched and challenged.
