Foreign Aid in a Changing World
This text explores the changes foreign aid has undergone between the late 1950s and the late 1990s. It examines these changes in the context of the wider economic and political developments.

Similarly, the concept of promoting democracy itself is not uniformly accepted....
Funding Democratization
Democracy is a fine political system, but an expensive economic venture. Political parties and election campaigns cost money. Where does the money come from and at what sacrifice? Issues connected with political finance are significant but often neglected aspects of the process of democratization.

The contributors investigate the funding of political parties in early North America, financial uncertainties of party formation in European countries, funding of democratization in new democracies, and the influence of funding on contenders for power. They also address the nature of political competition in c...

The third in a series of publications coming out of the ongoing evaluation studies at USAID's Center for Development Information and Evaluation.
