Why do aid agencies from wealthy donor countries with diverse
domestic political and economic contexts arrive at very similar
positions on a wide array of aid policies and priorities? This book
suggests that this homogenization of policy represents the effects
of common processes of globalization manifest in the aid sector.
Drawing on both quantitative and qualitative analysis of policy
adoption, the book argues that we need to examine macro-level
globalizing influences at the same time as understanding the
micro-level social processes at work within aid agencies, in order
to adequately explain the so-called 'emerging global consensus'
that constitutes the globalization of aid. The book explores how
global influences on aid agencies in Canada, Sweden, and the United
States are mediated through micro-level processes. Using a
mixed-methods approach, the book combines cross-national
statistical analysis at the global level with two comparative case
studies which look at the adoption of common policy priorities in
the fields of gender and security. The Globalization of Foreign Aid
will be useful to researchers of foreign aid, development,
international relations and globalization, as well as to the aid
policy community.
