Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: In 2005, foreign aid flows from industrialized donor countries to the developing world topped $100 billion, and aid remains an important, if at times controversial, instrument for financing global development. This paper presents a theoretical framework for understanding variations in donor commitments to using foreign aid to reduce poverty worldwide. The resources and collective mobilization efforts of domestic aid constituencies represent an initial determinant of aid policy choices. The demands that these aid constituencies advance are then filtered through a set of political institutions that regulate how societal interests access the policymaking process and determine how power is distributed among governmental actors. The level of a state’s commitment to poverty reduction via aid then results from the interactions between governmental actors with unique preferences on aid issues and varying power to promote these preferences. Brief treatments of development assistance policymaking in Denmark, Switzerland, France, and the United States offer an initial illustration of the application of the framework to the study of donor aid choices.
