Abstract

Official development assistance (ODA), along with trade and investment, have been employed by Japan and the USA as prime vehicles for promoting their economic cooperation with developing countries. Unlike trade and investment, which although significantly influenced by public policies have been essentially private transactions, official development assistance has by definition been primarily a government to government effort. As such, it can be both indicative of government perceptions of international roles and responsibilities and reflective of the interplay about those roles that occurs between various public and private interests within a donor’s political economy.
