The United States is the world's leading foreign aid donor. Yet
there has been little inquiry into how such assistance affects the
politics and societies of recipient nations. Drawing on four
decades of data on U.S. economic and military aid, Aiding and
Abetting explores whether foreign aid does more harm than good.
Jessica Trisko Darden challenges long-standing ideas about aid and
its consequences, and highlights key patterns in the relationship
between assistance and violence. She persuasively demonstrates that
many of the foreign aid policy challenges the U.S. faced in the
Cold War era, such as the propping up of dictators friendly to U.S.
interests, remain salient today. Historical case studies of
Indonesia, El Salvador, and South Korea illustrate how aid can
uphold human freedoms or propagate human rights abuses. Aiding and
Abetting encourages both advocates and critics of foreign
assistance to reconsider its political and social consequences by
focusing international aid efforts on the expansion of human
freedom.
