Deborah Barros Leal FARRIAS, Aid and Technological Cooperation as a Foreign Policy Tool for Emerging Donors: The Case of Brazil

Abstract

There is a high concern that development assistance can be seen as national interest from the donor’s perspective. The book dwells on the specific case of Brazil and tackles the question of how a country like Brazil seeks power and influence by providing no-strings-attached foreign technical assistance. In the book, there are also some similarities and differences among Southern emerging donors like China, India and South Africa, concerning their take on foreign assistance.
