Résumé : |
Back cover: "The quality of a country’s policies largely governs its economic performance. But attempts by aid donors to use financial leverage (‘conditionality’) to improve policies in developing countries have often brought little change. Why is this? This path-breaking political economy study scrutinises the theory and practice of conditionality, drawing chiefly on the experiences of twenty-one developing countries.
The fatal weakness of conditionality, the book concludes, is that donors are unwilling or unable to withhold aid from governments, which renege on policy promises. Depp-rooted factors stand in the way to make conditionality more effective, reliance on which has hence wasted much aid. The book therefore presents ideas for improving donor-recipient relationships in ways which do not rely on an imagined financial leverage." |
