Description: "Foreign aid has been an area of active scholarly investigation since the end of the Second World War, but particularly since the early 1950s when a large number of the erstwhile colonies became independent. Few areas of public policy involving the developed and developing countries have aroused more passion and ideological debate than foreign aid."--BOOK JACKET.

"In spite of the massive amount of research in the field, there is still not enough work in two areas: the first involves the mechanisms through which aid influences economies of the donor and the recipient countries; and the second, country specific assessments of the effectiveness of foreign aid. Foreign Aid: New Perspectives is aimed at making a contribution in these two areas."--BOOK JACKET.
