Abstract

So far our analysis has focused primarily on public sector institutions in the industrial sector, though we have at times referred also to the important role played by a number of other, mostly developed-country, institutions. Among these other institutions, foreign aid donors would appear to warrant particular attention in view of the striking extent to which they have financed public investment in most African countries south of the Sahara (as Chapter 1 explicitly sought to show). And as its title suggests, the purpose of the present chapter is to incorporate foreign aid donors more systematically into our analysis. So doing, we suggest, takes two distinct though related forms.
