This book delves into these consequences, providing a fresh and comprehensive guide to understanding and addressing them. The book starts by laying out a theoretical framework based on complexity thinking, before going on to explore the ten most prevalent kinds of unintended effects of foreign aid: backlash effects, conflict effects, migration and resettlement effects, price effects, marginalization effects, behavioural effects, negative spillover effects, governance effects, environmental effects, and ripple effects.

Providing a clear overview of what side effects to anticipate when planning, executing, and evaluating aid, this book will be an important resource for students, development practitioners, and policymakers alike. 2023-09-26T15:00:54Z 2023-09-26T15:00:54Z 2024 book ONIX_20230926_9781000999952_44 9781000999952 9781003356851 9781032412184 9781032412146 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/76428 eng Routledge Focus on Business and Management application/pdf n/a 9781000999952.pdf Taylor & Francis Routledge 10.4324/9781003356851 10.4324/9781003356851 7b3c7b10-5b1e-40b3-860e-c6dd5197f0bb 7cab3aea-dd32-4467-a1b6-98df1feba944 9781000999952 9781003356851 9781032412184 9781032412146 Routledge 236 [...] open access
