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.
