Abstract |
|
|
| Humanitarian aid suffers as many contingent aspects of global politics receive much attention. Although countries receive assistance for developmental purposes, as foreign capital flow, investment by private/commercial Banks, but ‘effectiveness of development aid’ very often becomes blurred. Aid allocation depends on recipient merit and the donors’ interests-whether commercial interests. Neo-Realism proposes rational choice outcomes to either power maximization or security maximization. Foreign aid to poor countries aims to eradicate global inequality and aid assistance usually targets improving human lives of poor countries. Many aid instruments focus on various targets areas/sectors however, the main concern remains either economic growth, as IMF aims, or human development. Removing global inequality to ensure global justice has to do with problem of distribution. An important way of weighing success of aid assistance is to understand the interest and purposes involved in humanitarian aid through understanding the politics of aid. |
