Les déterminants politiques de la mesure de l'aide au développement

Abstract: The international standard for development funding has remained at 0,7% of the GNI of the member countries of the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of OECD since the early sixties. This standard has never been questioned in its foundations, while its calculation corresponds to the situation of more than fifty years ago. The international conditions have changed, as well as the theoretical analyses on growth and development. Even worse, most of the donors try to inflate their figures on aid by interpreting the definitions given by DAC/OECD. All the actors stick to this sacrosanct objective to be achieved, supporting the statement that a volume of aid corresponding to this objective will trigger development. Why such a ?path dependency? with regard to this international standard ?
