The Australian aid program faces a fundamental dilemma: how, in the
absence of deep popular support, should it generate the political
legitimacy required to safeguard its budget and administering
institution? Australia's Foreign Aid Dilemma tells the story of the
actors who have grappled with this question over 40 years. It draws
on extensive interviews and archival material to uncover how 'court
politics' shapes both aid policy and administration. The lesson for
scholars and practitioners is that any holistic understanding of
the development enterprise must account for the complex
relationship between the aid program of individual governments and
the domestic political and bureaucratic contexts in which it is
embedded. If the way funding is administered shapes development
outcomes, then understanding the 'court politics' of aid matters.
This comprehensive text will be of considerable interest to
scholars and students of politics and foreign policy as well as
development professionals in Australia and across the world.
