Aid and Sovereignty

Christopher Kilby

No 38, Vassar College Department of Economics Working Paper Series from Vassar College Department of Economics

Abstract: To achieve humanitarian objectives, international development assistance must be structured to insure its effectiveness. The resulting conditionality, however, raises sovereignty concerns as attempts to promote effectiveness may conflict with respect for recipient state sovereignty and indirectly violate individuals' right to self-determination. The paper explores the nature of this conflict and provides guidelines for official donors.
