The Political Economy of Global Poverty Reduction: An Analysis of International Aid
Keywords:
International aid, poverty reduction, sustainable development, political institutionsAbstract
International aid, also known as development assistance, is a crucial tool for poverty reduction and sustainable development. However, the effectiveness of aid is often hindered by challenges such as corruption and aid dependency. In this analysis, we examined the political economy of global poverty reduction, with a focus on the role of international organizations, the impact of political institutions, the relationship between aid and economic growth, the political economy of aid dependency, the relationship between aid and corruption, the role of civil society in aid accountability, the impact of foreign policy on international aid, and the political dynamics of aid allocation.
