If you're burning to explain this madness, and want to go beyond "U.S. interests in oil, invasions, drugs and Israel", then here are the four articles I recommend to my SIPA class: William Easterly and Tobias Pfutze (2008). "Where Does the Money Go? Best and Worst Practices in Foreign Aid," Journal of Economic Perspectives Alberto Alesina and David Dollar (2000).  "Who Gives Foreign Aid to Whom and Why?" Journal of Economic Growth Eric Werker and Faisal Ahmed (2008). "What Do Nongovernmental Organizations Do?" Journal of Economic Perspectives Nancy Birdsall (2004). "Seven Deadly Sins: Reflections on Donor Failings," CGD Working Paper 50 Chris Blattman | October 30, 2015 at 10:53 am | Tags: foreign aid, foreign policy, geopolitics, map | Categories: development | URL: http://chrisblattman.com/?p=12922 Comment    See all comments Unsubscribe to no longer receive posts from Chris Blattman.
