The Rise and Fall of Development Aid

Author

  • Stephen Browne

Abstract

With the end of the cold war, the military prerogatives that motivate aid have clearly diminished in importance. However, other political and strategic considerations remain prominent in deciding the direction and content of development assistance. This paper re-examines the rationale for aid that accompanied its inception; revisits the development debate that accompanied its growth; and draws conclusions for aids' performance which may influence the future.
