Description

The Globalization of Foreign Aid: Developing Consensus By Liam Swiss This book explores how aid agencies from different countries with varying domestic contexts arrive at similar policy positions. Swiss argues that this homogenization is due to the effects of globalization in the aid sector, and that understanding both macro-level globalizing influences and micro-level social processes within aid agencies is necessary to explain the 'emerging global consensus' in foreign aid. The book combines quantitative analysis with two comparative case studies on the adoption of common policy priorities in areas such as gender and security. It will be useful to researchers and practitioners in the fields of foreign aid, development, international relations, and globalization. By examining the intersection of global influences and micro-level processes within aid agencies, Swiss sheds light on the complex factors driving the globalization of foreign aid.
