DESCRIPTION
In recent years, China, Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan have been transformed from aid recipients to aid donors, raising a number of questions. What motivated these four countries to embark on aid programs? Do their policies represent new approaches to poverty alleviation? Do they reinforce or disrupt the emerging consensus within the international community on aid policy harmonization and coordination? The authors of Foreign Aid Competition in Northeast Asia address these questions as they explore the dynamics and implications of the new aid programs.
