Current foreign aid programs are failing because they are based
upon flawed assumptions about how countries develop. They attempt
to achieve development without first achieving good governance and
security, which are essential prerequisites for sustainable
development. In focusing on the poorer members of society, they
neglect the elites upon whose leadership the quality of governance
and security depends. By downplaying the relevance of cultural
factors to development, they avoid altering cultural
characteristics that account for most of the weaknesses of elites
in poor nations. Drawing on a wealth of examples from around the
world, the author shows that foreign aid can be made much more
effective by focusing it on human capital development. Training,
education, and other forms of assistance can confer both skills and
cultural attributes on current and future leaders, especially those
responsible for security and governance.
