International Development Assistance

  • Ramesh F. Ramsaran
Chapter

Abstract

Aid is much more than just a carefully administered flow of resources. It is a basis for contemporary international relationships, both political and commercial. It is a conduit of goodwill, as well as of influence; a source of dynamism, and dependence; a promoter of new orders, and preserver of old ways. It represents ‘business’ for development and commercial banks, for exporters in the donor countries and importers in the recipient countries.1
