Development Aid Benefits For Donor Countries

Summary/Abstract: The article is based on the doctoral dissertation: “International development aid as an instrument for achieving foreign policy objectives of France and Germany”. The main hypothesis of this article is that development aid is being used as an instrument for achieving foreign policy objectives and it is in this sense primarily beneficial for donor countries. The article analyses the development inequality in the modern global capitalist order and the impact of corporations and development aid on the maintenance of such a system. The article is focussed on two main EU member states: the Republic of France and Federal Republic of Germany. By changing the paradigm, from the one in which the most benefit from development aid policy have the least developed countries in the paradigm that on the long-term greatest benefits precisely have the countries that are the initiators of the same development aid, article argues that bigger and politically and economically more powerful states use development policies assisting less developed countries in order to promote their own interest and achieve goals of their foreign policy.
