International Aid The Flow of Public Resources from Rich to Poor Countries

International Aid The Flow of Public Resources from Rich to Poor Countries

This is a comprehensive analysis of the economics of international aid that provides a systematic framework for understanding planning and executing aid programs. Though much has been written on different aspects of international aid this book was the first to synthesize information on all facets of aid and to investigate the consequences for both donor and recipient nations of the transfer of public resources in aid programs. The authors first present the history of aid discuss the principles that govern aid as practiced by the United States the United Kingdom Russia China the United Nations and other donors and then provide a broad theoretical structure in which to discuss particular questions taken up in subsequent chapters. The book systematically covers all aspects of the aid relationship and in addition to broad coverage of aid programs analyzes details of the aid relationship to discern the function of the different variables of aid. In one coherent volume International Aid outlines sound theoretical bases for discussion of aid programs provides valuable insights into contemporary practices and offers far-reaching suggestions on the future of aid programs. On first publication in the mid-1960s in the midst of the Cold War this book had considerable influence and its interest outlasts its parochial times as one of the first to discuss the effects of aid on both donor and recipient countries. | International Aid The Flow of Public Resources from Rich to Poor Countries

Security-First Compliance for Small Businesses

Security-First Compliance for Small Businesses

Organizations of all sizes struggle to secure their data in a constantly evolving digital landscape. Expanding digital footprints and the rapid expansion of cloud strategies arising from the COVID-19 pandemic increase an organization’s attack surface. When combined with limited resources caused by the cybersecurity skills gap securing small and mid-sized business IT infrastructures becomes more complicated. With limited staffing and budgetary restrictions small businesses need to create cost-effective security-driven programs that protect data while also meeting increasingly stringent compliance requirements. This book bridges the gap between complex technical language and business objectives to create a security-first review of the security and compliance landscapes. Starting from the premise that “with security comes compliance ” this book starts by defining “security-first” and then walking readers through the process of creating a holistic security and compliance program. Looking at security and privacy through the lens of zero trust this overview of regulations and industry standards provides both background about and implications drawn from modern security practices. Rather than focusing solely on individual cybersecurity frameworks this book offers insights into best practices based on the commonalities between regulations and industry standards highlighting some of the primary differences to show the nuances. Woven throughout are practical examples of solutions that enable small and mid-sized businesses to create “cybersustainable” security-focused policies processes and controls that protect today’s future for tomorrow’s digital ecosystem. | Security-First Compliance for Small Businesses

World War Aid Interventionist Aid and War in Ukraine

World War Aid Interventionist Aid and War in Ukraine

World War Aid offers a novel perspective on the unprecedented aid in the Ukrainian conflict destined to leave an international echo reaching far beyond the individual historical case and the aid sector alone. This book clarifies the evolving scenario of a conflict that before tanks had long been fought on the territory of aid. The author makes arguments about aid which can be traced back to three sets of issues: 1) Ukraine’s history from its independence in 1991 until the war in 2022 that witnessed the evolution of inter-state aid sent to Kyiv. This period anticipated the geo-political dispute over the country's future and was marked by confrontation between donors who would later become the protagonists of the war scenario. 2) The exceptionality of the Ukrainian case is discussed by specifically identifying eight peculiarities of wartime aid: the response speed of Western Bilateral Donors; the leading role and primacy of the latter over the non-governmental sector; the key influence exercised by the Ukrainian recipient; the quantity and diversification of aid involved; Russia’s conversion of aid into hybrid weapons (Weaponization of Aid); the West’s provision of weapons as primary aid (Aidization of Weapons); the excessive anticipation of post-war planning initiatives; and sanctions modeled to represent a new form of aid. 3) Based on these peculiarities a new model of Interventionist Aid is defined characterized by a willingness to take an active part in the crisis in which the Donors operate in order to condition its course and outcome. By preferring tactical purposes to humanitarian ones and prioritizing military and financial interventions Interventionist Aid represents an absolute conceptual political and historical novelty in inter-state aid. A highly original take on a key event of the 21st century World War Aid is an invaluable text for political scientists analysts and historians of international relations as well as diplomats and practitioners of foreign policy and foreign aid. | World War Aid Interventionist Aid and War in Ukraine

Rethinking Multilateralism in Foreign Aid Beyond the Neoliberal Hegemony

Rethinking Multilateralism in Foreign Aid Beyond the Neoliberal Hegemony

This edited book provides a contemporary critical and thought-provoking analysis of the internal and external threats to Western multilateral development finance in the twenty-first century. It draws on the expertise of scholars with a range of backgrounds providing a critical exploration of the neoliberal multilateral development aid. The contributions focus on how Western institutions have historically dominated development aid and juxtapose this hegemony with the recent challenges from right-wing populist and the Beijing Consensus ideologies and practices. This book argues that the rise of right-wing populism has brought internal challenges to traditional powers within the multilateral development system. External challenges arise from the influence of China and regional development banks by providing alternatives to established Western dominated aid sources and architecture. From this vantagepoint Rethinking Multilateralism in Foreign Aid puts forward new ideas for addressing the current global social political and economic challenges concerning multilateral development aid. This book will be of interest to researchers academics and students in the field of International Development and Global Governance decision-makers at government level as well as to those working in international aid institutions regional and bilateral aid agencies and non-governmental organisations. | Rethinking Multilateralism in Foreign Aid Beyond the Neoliberal Hegemony

Contending Theories on Development Aid Post-Cold War Evidence from Africa

Contending Theories on Development Aid Post-Cold War Evidence from Africa

This title was first published in 2001: This thorough and comprehensive examination of the nature and pattern of post-Cold War aid to sub-Saharan Africa provides incisive comparative case studies of the motivations behind the foreign aid policies of key members of the Development Association Committee (DAC).

He provides thoughtful innovative suggestions for promoting a new development partnership between industrialized countries and Africa using a sophisticated quantitative method of inquiry making this text a valuable contribution to social science literature on research methods. | Contending Theories on Development Aid Post-Cold War Evidence from Africa

Investing in Peace Aid and Conditionality after Civil Wars

Investing in Peace Aid and Conditionality after Civil Wars

This book analyzes the provision of aid to countries that have undergone negotiated settlements to civil wars drawing on recent experiences in Bosnia Cambodia El Salvador and Guatemala. It focuses on the potential for peace conditionality linking aid to steps to implement accords and consolidate the peace. The book explores how aid can encourage domestic investment in peace-related needs; the reconciliation of long-run peacebuilding objectives with short-run humanitarian imperatives; and the obstacles that donors' priorities and procedures pose to effective aid for peace. It concludes that investing in peace requires not only the reconstruction of war-torn societies but also the reconstruction of aid itself. | Investing in Peace Aid and Conditionality after Civil Wars

Aid Ownership and Development The Inverse Sovereignty Effect in the Pacific Islands

Aid Ownership and Development The Inverse Sovereignty Effect in the Pacific Islands

One of the key principles for effective aid programmes is that recipient agencies exert high degrees of ownership over the agendas resources systems and outcomes of aid activities. Sovereign recipient states should lead the process of development. Yet despite this well-recognised principle the realities of aid delivery mean that ownership is often compromised in practice. Aid Ownership and Development examines this ‘inverse sovereignty’ hypothesis with regard to the states and territories of the Pacific Island region. It provides an initial overview of different aid ‘regimes’ over time maps aid flows in the region and analyses the concept of sovereignty. Drawing on a rich range of primary research by the authors and contributors it focuses on the agencies and individuals within the Pacific Islands who administer and apply aid projects and programmes. There is indeed evidence for the inverse sovereignty effect; particularly when island states and their small and stretched bureaucracies have to deal with complex and burdensome donor reporting requirements management systems consultative meetings and differing strategic priorities. This book outlines important ways in which Pacific agencies have proved adept not only at meeting these requirements but also asserting their own priorities and ways of operating. It concludes that global agreements such as the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness in 2005 and the recently launched Sustainable Development Goals can be effective means for Pacific agencies to both hold donors to account and also to recognise and exercise their own sovereignty. | Aid Ownership and Development The Inverse Sovereignty Effect in the Pacific Islands

The Bureaucratic Struggle For Control Of U.s. Foreign Aid Diplomacy Vs. Development In Southern Africa

The Bureaucratic Struggle For Control Of U.s. Foreign Aid Diplomacy Vs. Development In Southern Africa

This study of executive-branch decision making explores the conflict between the diplomatic and developmental mandates of U. S. foreign-aid programs on two levels. First a given amount of programming funded for a country must be divided among various activities some of which are directed toward long-term development while others encourage short-term diplomatic cooperation with U. S. initiatives. Second individual federal agencies favor certain types of aid and are engaged in a constant struggle to preserve and expand their favored programs at the expense of others. Dr. Rossiter examines this conflict in a case study of the State Department's use of foreign-aid programs to induce the frontline states of southern Africa to cooperate with President Carter's initiative to resolve the civil war in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe. According to Dr. Rossiter the Agency for International Development (AID) lost control over foreign aid in the region to the State Department because the constituency for development objectives was relatively weak both inside and outside the U. S. government. He concludes by discussing the implications of AID's unsuccessful attempt to free itself from the State Department's control during the reorganization of the foreign-aid bureaucracy under President Carter. | The Bureaucratic Struggle For Control Of U. s.

Entrepreneurship in Small Island States and Territories

Entrepreneurship in Small Island States and Territories

Entrepreneurship in Small Island States and Territories is the first publication to consider the ‘creative’ side of enterprise in small island states and territories. Rather than playing out as remote vulnerable and dependent backwaters of neo-colonialism the world’s small island states and territories (with resident populations of less than 1 million) show considerable resourcefulness in facing up to the very real challenges of their predicament. The creative endeavours of their residents facilitated by adroit public policy has created economic and investment opportunities that translate into some private sector employment and decent livelihoods for many. Their ingenuity coupled with strategic investments and the support of the diaspora has led to a suite of (sometimes unlikely) products and services: from citizenship and higher-level internet domain names to place-branded foods and beverages; from electronic gaming to niche manufacturing. There is much more to small island survival than subsistence farming aid remittances and public sector workfare. Entrepreneurship in Small Island States and Territories helps to dispel this myth showcasing an aspect of life in small island states and territories that is rarely documented or critically reviewed.

International Aid and Sustainable Development in North Korea A Country Left Behind with Cloaked Society

International Aid and Sustainable Development in North Korea A Country Left Behind with Cloaked Society

This book examines international aid in North Korea in particular the ongoing policy of withholding aid through the lens of the impact on the general population to present an argument for sustainable development. Focusing on the human rights of North Koreans and presenting a case for the use of aid as a provision for social change it explores an alternative narrative to the existing long-drawn-out rhetoric of ‘denuclearisation-first’. The book’s scope includes evaluations of the causes of international sanctions and their impact the Kim regime’s mitigation of sanctions through marketisation and a digital economy as well as barriers to aid monitoring and the reason for the absence of any mass anti-regime movement. It also posits that North Korea is a fragile state but cloaked by the image of a strong regime. The book succinctly demonstrates that the key to unlocking the potential of North Korea’s ‘cloaked society’ does not lie in sanctions but is to be found in engagement with development aid. As such it will appeal to students of Korean Studies Development Studies Asian Politics and International Relations.

A First Course in Logic

A First Course in Logic

A First Course in Logic is an introduction to first-order logic suitable for first and second year mathematicians and computer scientists. There are three components to this course: propositional logic; Boolean algebras; and predicate/first-order logic. Logic is the basis of proofs in mathematics — how do we know what we say is true? — and also of computer science — how do I know this program will do what I think it will? Surprisingly little mathematics is needed to learn and understand logic (this course doesn't involve any calculus). The real mathematical prerequisite is an ability to manipulate symbols: in other words basic algebra. Anyone who can write programs should have this ability.

The Humanitarian Parent Balancing Work and Family in the Aid Sector

The Humanitarian Parent Balancing Work and Family in the Aid Sector

Aid sector staff work in some of the world’s most challenging environments from conflict zones to sites of natural disaster and refugee camps. For a long time the aid worker was typified by the lone white male flying from place to place and seeing his family during the holidays. But now as the world changes and the sector diversifies how can family life be reconciled with the challenges and travel commitments of this particularly difficult career? This book delves deep into these challenges exposing the problems that persist and pointing a path for organisations to adopt a more human-centred staff-centred parent-centred feminist approach to humanitarian and development work. Drawing on the author’s own experiences as an aid worker as well as extensive original interviews and desk research the book looks at the challenges faced by those who aspire to a family life from finding a partner who is willing and able to live in the same location to dating in difficult contexts to being away from home and extended family finding child care and settling children in new countries and cultures. Local workers face their own challenges often suffering from a lack of support in comparison to their international colleagues. For many the cost is too great and the sector suffers from a brain drain as experienced staff leave. It doesn’t need to be this way. The book points a way for organisations to adopt policies that support mothers and fathers. As well as being a useful guide for aid professionals who are themselves navigating these issues the book will be perfect for organisations looking to reform and for students wishing to understand the realities of a career in aid. | The Humanitarian Parent Balancing Work and Family in the Aid Sector

Radishchev occupies a notable position in the history of European social thought as the first writer to apply the criteria of the Western Age of Reason to conditions in Tsarist Russia. Sentenced to death on the orders of Catherine the Great and subsequently exiled in Siberia Radishchev stands out as the first great figure of the Russian radical intelligentsia and the first literary victim of Tsarist official intolerance. | The First Russian Radical Alexander Radishchev 1749-1802
