This title was first published in 2001: This thorough and comprehensive examination of the nature and pattern of post-Cold War aid to sub-Saharan Africa provides incisive, comparative case studies of the motivations behind the foreign aid policies of key members of the Development Association Committee (DAC). In one of the most rigorous contemporary efforts to evaluate the adequacy of the dominant theories of international relations on an important subject like foreign aid, Dr Omoruyi eschews easy answers to the problem of Africa's marginalization in the international system. He provides thoughtful, innovative suggestions for promoting a new development partnership between industrialized countries and Africa using a sophisticated quantitative method of inquiry, making this text a valuable contribution to social science literature on research methods.

Reviews for Contending Theories on Development Aid: Post-Cold War Evidence from Africa

’...essential reading for anyone interested in development politics, issues relating to development assistance specifically, and international relations theory more generally. Omoruyi does an excellent job of grounding his study in contemporary theory while examining the donor policies toward Africa, an often ignored aid-receiving region. Employing the latest data and materials in the field, he crafts a rich mosaic of development policies...’ Mark A. Boyer, University of Connecticut, USA '...this book will be useful reading for those researching the influence of such variables on peace and conflict and good background reading for others looking at peace and conflict in SSA.'
