However, the impact varied from one donor country to another. The policies of most European governments became less affected than those of the remaining superpower. This volume takes stock of such changes into the new millennium. It starts with an extensive overview and analysis of the changes that have taken place in the international environments and development thinking in the past decade, drawing the lines further back, and identifying the main features of the new international development agenda. The country studies focus on continuity and change in the aid policy of individual European donor countries, with an emphasis on overall objectives set for aid and norms guiding its distribution geographically and on purposes. The performance is also scrutinized. This volume, unique in its kind, includes studies of the European countries such as Britain, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Spain. The contributors are specialists within their respective countries. It concludes with a scrutiny of the policy of the European Union. |
