Produktbeschreibung
This book advances a framework for understanding how domestic politics shape foreign aid policy. Focusing on the impact of domestic forces on development policies, specifically the economic interests of lobby groups and value-based societal ideas, it provides a comprehensive analysis of the domestic dynamics of aid across three middle powers from three different regions. It draws on case studies of Mexico, South Korea, and Turkey in the post-2008 global context, and offers a global perspective on the domestic influences shaping governmental preferences towards international development cooperation. The theoretical innovation it offers within International Political Economy (IPE), along with its empirical depth, makes this book essential reading for scholars, students, and practitioners interested in the domestic politics of aid, the international political economy of middle powers, and the broader dynamics of global governance.
