International Aid and Democracy Promotion investigates the link
between foreign aid and the promotion of democracy, using theory,
statistical tests, and illustrative case studies. This book
challenges the field of development to recognize that democracy
promotion is unlike other development goals. With a goal like
economic development, the interests of the recipient and the donor
coincide; whereas, with democratization, authoritarian recipients
have strong reasons to oppose what donors seek. The different
motivations of donors and recipients must be considered if
democracy aid is to be effective. The author examines how donors
exercise their leverage over aid recipients, and, more importantly,
why, using selectorate theory to understand the incentives of both
aid donors and recipients. International Aid and Democracy
Promotion will be of great interest to academics and students of
development and democratization, as well as policy makers with
authority over foreign aid allocation. "The Open Access version of
