Aid and authoritarianism in Africa development without democracy - London Zed Books 2016 - 186p. : ill. ; 24 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index
There is a shocking aspect of Africa?s foreign aid that is almost entirely ignored: since 2013, almost half of Africa?s top aid recipients have been ruled by authoritarian one-party states. Many international donors such as USAID, DFID, the World Bank, and the European Commission have watched their aid policies becoming increasingly entangled with the agendas of governmental elites. The situation prompts an uncomfortable question: to what extent are foreign aid programs now actually perpetuating authoritarian rule in Africa?
