Worldwide more and more governments have begun to buckle under a
variety of strains, including the ongoing pressures of economic
crisis, followed by structural adjustment programmes, and the
impact of declining legitimacy, often resulting in the outbreak of
civil war. In this study of aid policy, Joanna Macrae argues that
the disintegration of state authority and civil order has created
acute problems in aid management. Largely ignored by major aid
organizations, insecurity and failures of governance are now the
major obstacles to aid reaching those in most need. International
aid has traditionally assumed the existence of stable, sovereign
states capable of making policy. In a number of developing
countries, including post-conflict regimes like Cambodia, Uganda or
Kosovo, this is no longer the case. The big donor agencies have
usually responded by suspending development aid and substituting
some kind of emergency or relief assistance. Now, as the author
shows, there are calls to make relief more development-oriented and
for it to address the underlying conflicts which causes these
crises. But she concludes from her investigations on the ground in
a number of countries that relief and development aid are very
distinct processes. In the absence of public policy-making
authorities, aid becomes highly fragmented, often inadequate in
scale, and certainly not capable of building local sustainability
for particular programmes. The international aid system, she
concludes, faces real dilemmas and remains ill-equipped to respond
to the peculiar challenges of quasi-statehood that characterize
chronic political emergencies and their aftermath. An important
book for policy makers, scholars and students of the development
process wrestling with 'real world' issues of aid delivery.
