Foreign Aid Toward the Millennium
Like world politics itself, the foreign-assistance regime of the late 1990s is characterized by fundamental change and widespread uncertainty. This book confronts these changes and considers, cross-nationally, how donor and recipient states are adapting their aid relationships to the transformed geopolitical environment.
Combining the expertise of both area specialists and those focusing on general issues of political economy, the book reviews the evolving aid strategies of major donors, then considers aid issues as they affect traditional and new aid recipients. All types of aid are considered, including official development assistance, military aid, and multilateral and private assistance. The final chapter addresses the changing functional aspects of aid, including the prospects for development assistance and arms transfers and the obstacles to sound economic development and cooperation between rich and poor states.
