The Hard Challenge of Aid Coordination
梳理了援助协调的现有论点，指出政治成本带来的不可避免的权衡，并重点分析了捐助国之间协调实施中的问题，包括如何处理受援国的治理失败以及捐助国异质性的影响。
Aid coordination is a constant theme of discussion among national and international aid agencies in their search for more effectiveness and efficiency in delivering development assistance. This paper seeks to clarify some of the arguments currently made in support of aid coordination, and to precise unavoidable trade-offs born of the existence of political costs. It is anchored in the available literature on aid delivery while focusing on the implementation problems of aid coordination among donor countries. In particular, it deals with: (a) the issue of consistently and collectively handling possible governance failures in recipient countries; and (b) the impact of heterogeneity of donor countries on the effectiveness of aid coordination.
