Getting Aid to Work Politics, Policies and Incentives for Poor Countries

For 50 years, foreign aid has been the central policy instrument with which the international community has promoted economic development. The main justification for aid has always been that the poorest countries could not develop without it. But does Foreign aid work?

It offers a concrete a set of proposals for the international community to promote economic development.Van de Walle, Nicolas is the author of 'Getting Aid to Work Politics, Policies and Incentives for Poor Countries', published 2004 under ISBN 9780881323795 and ISBN 0881323799.
