Why do some governments provide less foreign assistance than they originally pledge? This research explores the origins of the 'big-plan-small-action' issue through an institutional analysis. The research dwells particularly on how donors' aid management design (by examining specifically the legal-regulatory rule arrangements for policy formation and implementation) can help explain such problems. The aim is to identify the logic and design of rules for foreign aid policy-making that induce a particular set of incentives and collective actions of state agencies that, in turn, cause a gap between planning and practice in the management of foreign aid. To this end, this research critically reviews Elinor Ostrom's Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD) framework and comes up with a refined version of it. The fine-tuning of the framework is necessary to take rule institutions more seriously. Given that existing IAD-based empirical analyses in the domain of development cooperation focus on the effects of formal rules on foreign aid policy-making, the earlier application of the framework appears ineffective at acknowledging the broader institutional contexts of policy-making rules and traditions across government units. Considering the unique contexts of emerging/young donor governments, whose policy-making tends to be governed by greater 'discretion (room for judgment)' under a relatively insufficient and abstract set of written rules, the IAD research requires some sophisticated analytical procedures to discern the impacts of various types and layers of policy-making rules on the outcomes. The chosen country case is South Korea (2000-16), which has displayed one of the most severe commitment problems. Korea's public laws and regulations have generally lacked clear logics and definitional details for the management of official development assistance (ODA). In comparison to conventional donor cases, such characteristics have left greater room for undefined policy areas to be decided at the discretion of state executives and bureaucrats. Since the greatest decision-making/corrective powers have been centered on the president, ODA planning at the top policy level has tended to be swung by his/her immediate diplomatic-political needs. Through the two nested cases of knowledge aid and multilateral aid, it is further demonstrated that the presidential ODA initiatives in those sub-policy areas have legally overridden the procedures of reflecting long-term operational considerations. No legal restrictions over the entry and exit of participants have encouraged a high level of opportunism among state agencies to rush into knowledge aid and multilateral 2 cooperation regardless of their organizational talents and traditions. More prominently, KOICA has displayed distinctive strategic behavior in order to reduce its chronic political-financial instability. Korea's substantial gap between annual commitments and disbursements might be a by-product of its ODA policy system, which is rationalized by a loan-grant division. However, this study argues that the commitment problem has fundamentally resulted from a lack of coordinating mechanisms, which were neither effectively put to work by the laws nor took place by the consensual norm within the system. The coordinating/oversight body remained nominal, since it performed the mandate to a limited extent without proper legal power and resource. Considering the national legacy of having had a very centralized public policy-making structure, successful government-wide coordination relied heavily upon the discretion of the president. All things considered, Korea's ODA policy system is a case that fails to encourage reciprocal collective actions among the inherently spat-prone bureaucrats. The research is also useful if one wonders what institutional-structural conditions need to be fixed or re-adjusted to make foreign aid policies more credible and sustainable. The empirical analysis of contexts, two action situations, and outcomes suggest that to properly understand the underlying sources for the expansionary rhetoric and associated incentive problems with a country's development cooperation, due attention ought to be paid to the rule configuration. This will provide an insight into the extent to which hard rules might create room for informal rules to come into play and induce a unique set of incentives, and collective actions, and to end up with undesirable policy outputs.

Originally published in 1990, this volume is a comprehensive study of United States foreign aid allocation from 1961-1983 and the significance it has for US Foreign Policy as a whole. As well as developing a theoretically consistent measure of poverty for the research, the book also examines the relationship between bilateral foreign aid and multilateral foreign aid. A number of theoretical issues in comparative politics, international relations, US domestic institutional decision making and the development of political and economic institutions are explored.

Across the world the Western dominated international aid system is being challenged. The rise of right-wing populism, de-globalisation, the advance of illiberal democracy and the emergence of non-Western donors onto the international stage are cutting right to the heart of the entrenched neoliberal aid paradigm. Foreign Aid in the Age of Populism explores the impact of these challenges on development aid, arguing that there is a need to bring politics back into development aid; not just the politics of economics, but power relations internally in aid organisations, in recipient nations, and between donor and recipient. In particular, the book examines how aid agencies are using Political Economy Analysis (PEA) to inform their decision making and to push aid projects through, whilst failing to engage meaningfully with wider politics. The book provides an in-depth critical analysis of the Washington Consensus model of political economy analysis, contrasting it with the emerging Beijing Consensus, and suggesting that PEA has to be recast in order to accommodate new and emerging paradigms. A range of alternative theoretical frameworks are suggested, demonstrating how PEA could be used to provide a deeper and richer understanding of development aid interventions, and their impact and effectiveness. This book is perfect for students and researchers of development, global politics and international relations, as well as also being useful for practitioners and policy makers within government, development aid organisations, and global institutions.

In spite of shared rhetorical commitments to tackling poverty worldwide, donors have varied considerably in their use of aid as an instrument for global poverty reduction. This book explains varied donor priorities by examining how societal actors, governmental actors, and the institutions that regulate their interactions influence development policy choices. The Domestic Politics of Foreign Aid challenges explanations for donor generosity that identify humanitarian values, partisan politics, and welfare state institutions as key determinants of aid-giving patterns. It explains how the preferences of diverse sets of actors are amalgamated in the domestic political arena to shape national preferences for international redistribution. Drawing on interview research conducted with a variety of stakeholders in four donor countries (Denmark, France, Switzerland and the United States) and an extensive review of primary and secondary sources on aid politics in the countries studied, the book offers both a static overview of the characteristics of aid policymaking systems and a historical treatment of policymaking dynamics over a 25-year period (1980-2005). Applying a common theoretical framework to the four case studies and using development NGO advocacy as a starting point for examining the politics of aid, this book provides a synthesis of several strands of theoretical work dealing with interest group politics and political institutions to inform the analysis of the societal and governmental determinants of aid choices.

This book is about the institutions, incentives and constraints that guide the behaviour of people and organizations involved in the implementation of foreign aid programmes. While traditional performance studies tend to focus almost exclusively on the policies and institutions in recipient countries, this book looks at incentives in the entire chain of organizations involved in the delivery of foreign aid, from donor governments and agencies to consultants, experts and other intermediaries. Four aspects of foreign aid delivery are examined in detail: incentives inside donor agencies, the interaction of subcontractors with recipient organizations, incentives inside recipient country institutions, and biases in aid performance monitoring systems.

This timely work presents cutting-edge analysis of the problems of U.S. foreign assistance programs - why these problems have not been solved in the past, and how they might be solved in the future. The book focuses primarily on U.S. foreign assistance and foreign policy as they apply to nation building, governance, and democratization. The expert contributors examine issues currently in play, and also trace the history and evolution of many of these problems over the years. They address policy concerns as well as management and organizational factors as they affect programs and policies. "Foreign Aid and Foreign Policy" includes several chapter-length case studies (on Iraq, Pakistan, Ghana, Haiti, and various countries in Eastern Europe and Africa), but the bulk of the book presents broad coverage of general topics such as foreign aid and security, NGOs and foreign aid, capacity building, and building democracy abroad. Each chapter offers recommendations on how to improve the U.S. system of aid in the context of foreign policy.

Why do some donor governments pursue international development through recipient governments, while others bypass such local authorities? Weaving together scholarship in political economy, public administration and historical institutionalism, Simone Dietrich argues that the bureaucratic institutions of donor countries shape donor–recipient interactions differently despite similar international and recipient country conditions. Donor nations employ institutional constraints that authorize, enable and justify particular aid delivery tactics while precluding others. Offering quantitative and qualitative analyses of donor decision-making, the book illuminates how donors with neoliberally organized public sectors bypass recipient governments, while donors with more traditional public-sector-oriented institutions cooperate and engage recipient authorities on aid delivery. The book demonstrates how internal beliefs and practices about states and markets inform how donors see and set their objectives for foreign aid and international development itself. It informs debates about aid effectiveness and donor coordination and carries implications for the study of foreign policy, more broadly.

First published in 1987, this reissue explores contemporary United States foreign aid policies and thinking in the Reagan era. The author argues that aid policy is often confused as a result of bureaucratic decision-making processes. The book contrasts the experience of the many countries where aid-giving has produced unwished-for effects with the few countries where the desired results have occurred. The author concludes by arguing for a new approach to aid-giving by the United States.
