Irrespective of source and manner of aid management, any aid received by a non-good-governance government above the food-aid threshold tends to increase transaction cost toward infinity (transaction cost theorem). The donor can reduce the transaction cost or social cost for the aid-recipient by withholding the aid. Under the new dispensation of the global good-governance government, which came into a clear profile after the global economy meltdown and the environmental crises, that level of food-aid is now unconditionally received as human right. This monograph concludes that of all the major problems global good-governance government is confronted with today, the problem of the aid-dependent economy is perhaps the easiest and the least costly to solve.

Governments which operate on the basis of rule of law are good-governance governments. Such governments protect human rights and promote freedoms. On the other hand, non-reforming non-good-governance governments impose themselves and their Hobson's choices on society by force of arms. They are run by warlordism, or rule of warlords. In the absence of the true opposition party in parliament and government, warlords cannot establish or protect human rights. As a result, the fundamental problem of economics (FPE) which is resource scarcity and competition over scarce resources cannot be solved.The economy thriving under warlordism is called mafia economy, which is the antithesis of the market or rule of law-based economy. Many African and third world governments run or manage mafia economies. Taking the case of a non-good governance government and its mafia economy, this book attempts to show how a peaceful transition can be made from warlordism to rule of law; and from a mafia economy to market economy.

In this hugely influential book, originally published in 2001 but just as - if not more - relevant today, Mark Duffield shows how war has become an integral component of development discourse. Aid agencies have become increasingly involved in humanitarian assistance, conflict resolution and the social reconstruction of war-torn societies. Duffield explores the consequences of this growing merger of development and security, unravelling the nature of the new wars and the response of the international community, in particular the new systems of global governance that are emerging as a result. An essential work for anyone studying, interested in, or working in development or international security.

What guidance does academic research really provide to economic policy development? The critical and analytical surveys in this volume investigate links between policies and outcomes by surveying work from broad macroeconomic policies to interventions in microfinance. Asserting that there are no universal correspondences between policies and outcomes, contributors demonstrate instead that only an intense familiarity with the development context and the universe of applicable economic models can generate successful policies. Getting cause-and-effect right is essential for policy design and implementation. With the goal of drawing researchers and policy makers closer, this volume highlights our increasing understanding of ways to combine economic theorizing with careful, thoughtful empirical work. Presents an accurate, self-contained survey of the current state of the field Summarizes the most recent discussions, and elucidates new developments Although original material is also included, the main aim is the provision of comprehensive and accessible surveys
