This book deals with Israeli development aid to Sub-Saharan Africa
countries as a part of Israeli foreign policy. The analysis is
framed by the concept of soft power: an assumption that development
cooperation increases attractiveness of the donor and contributes
to constructive bilateral and multilateral relations. Israel is a
particular case of a donor, as it concentrates on technical aid and
its aid is motivated by a particular set of ideological and
pragmatic motives.Covering the period since the 1950s till today,
the book analyses particular Israeli resources relevant for African
development and the system and contents of Israeli development aid,
with a particular focus on a new phenomenon of the engagement of
businesses and NGOs.Zielinska explores the geopolitical context of
Israeli aid for Sub-Saharan countries and the recipients'
perception of Israeli aid; asking if and how these attitudes
influence the recipients' behaviour towards Israel within their
bilateral relations as well as on multilateral forums. Contributing
to the knowledge of development diplomacy as a form of expression
of soft power and as a tool of foreign policy, it will be of
interest to international relations' students and faculty as well
as to other people professionally dealing with Israeli foreign
policies.
