Description
Breakdown in Pakistan: How Aid Erodes Institutions for Collective Action This book presents a rare, micro-level account of the complex decision-making processes that bring individuals together to form collective-action platforms. It examines why foreign aid often breaks down the very institutions for cooperation it aims to promote. The author's analysis is based on concrete measures to check the erosion of cooperation in foreign aid scenarios, with particular relevance for policy given Pakistan's status as one of the largest recipients of international development aid. The book's findings have important implications for recent discussions within the field of economics and are applicable to a number of other developing countries.
