This book describes and analyzes the development assistance
programs of the five major European donors: France, Germany, the
Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and Sweden. It describes each
country's program in terms of the evolution of its philosophy and
overall policy goals.
Although much has been written about development assistance to the
Third World, nearly all the attention has focused on U.S. programs
and policy. The important and growing commitment of European
countries--which now collectively account for over half of all
development assistance provided by the industrialized nations--has
been virtually ignored. European nations, like the u.s., support in
principle a aEUROoebasic needsaEURO focus in their assistance
programs, but the strategies they employ reveal a variety of styles
and technical approaches, many of which could be useful in
improving U.S. aid programs. This study describes and analyzes the
development assistance programs of the five major European donors:
France, Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and Sweden.
Drawing on primary sources and interviews with representatives of
the various assistance agencies and with outside experts, Dr.
Arnold describes each country's program in terms of three general
areas: the evolution of its philosophy and overall policy goals,
the organizational structure of the government institutions
concerned with development assistance (including the relationship
of these institutions to legislative and other policymaking
bodies), and the content and procedures of the assistance programs.
