This book examines a particular type of donor behavior - known as
country earmarking of contributions - which occurs within the
voluntary financing system of the United Nations. The research
demonstrates that already during the period of the Millennium
Development Goals a large share of the voluntary multilateral
funding decisions was influenced by the commercial priorities of
the OECD/DAC donor countries. The theoretical contribution focuses
on disentangling the mix of policy advantages that can be pursued
through linking of donors' commercial priorities with
multi-bilateral development programs. The book considers its
empirical findings within the current framework of the Sustainable
Development Goals and the associated aid financing architecture. It
demonstrates that, despite many negative associations of commercial
aid giving, it is difficult to make an indisputably negative
judgment on the practice of commercial earmarking in the specific
context of the specialized UN agencies. The author argues that
whether commercial earmarking proves to be a curse or a blessing
for the multilateral development institutions will very much depend
on the availability of parallel, flexible funding, and the creation
of adequate political and operational space for supranational
norm-keepers. Synthesizing the existing knowledge concerning the
supply-side of multi-bi aid, this book provides an accessible,
entry-level overview of the topic that will appeal to students and
scholars of global governance and international organizations.
