“…However, aid allocations are driven by complex calculations involving donor interests and relationships, recipient needs, humanitarian and ideational purposes, feasibility concerns, bargaining with recipients, and others (e.g. Alesina and Dollar, 2000; Apodaca and Stohl 1999; Balla and Reinhardt, 2008; Boutton and Carter, 2014; Drury et al, 2005; Heinrich, 2013; McKinlay and Little, 1977; Peterson and Scott, 2018; Scott and Carter, forthcoming).

For the USA, democracy assistance grew from less than 2% of aid to about 14% from 1975 to 2010 (Scott and Carter, forthcoming). USAID administered most US democracy aid through targeted packages to civil society organizations (about one-third of aid) and political parties and political institutions (about two-thirds of aid), intended to empower individuals, groups, and institutions in the recipient state.…”
