Consider, for example, the impact of foreign aid. Since 2008 Ethiopia has been one of the largest recipients of U.S. aid in Africa, averaging around $80 million per year. While intended to foster economic development, increasingly practitioners are growing wary of the aid's political ramifications. Before the Ethiopian national election in 2010, foreign donors were charged with "subsidizing a regime that is rapidly becoming one of the most repressive and dictatorial on the continent." Western aid officials "seem reluctant to admit that there are two Prime Minister Meles Zenawis. One is a clubbable, charming African who gives moving speeches at Davos and other elite forums about fighting poverty and terrorism. The other is a dictator whose totalitarianism dates backs to Cold War days.""-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Economic assistance $x Political aspects $z Developing countries. 650 0 $a Investments, Foreign $x Political aspects $z Developing countries. 650 0 $a Economic development $x Political aspects $z Developing countries. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781108781862 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200702013805.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4B325A928E9811EAB83BD64B97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
