Impact of History: Reprise

Colonialism defined authority in most of what we call the developing world until well after the middle of the twentieth century and foreign aid and technical assistance grew out of that heritage.

Understanding that legacy is important in any attempt to define the mixed legacy and the moral ambiguities that frame international assistance after 1960.

Three Views of Foreign Aid

1. Part of Balance of Power- Carrot and Stick Approach (based on exchange Theory)

2. Commercial Promotion: Focus on International Trade

3. Humanitarian Theory: Moral Imperative
