Excluded Again: Village Politics at the Aid Interface
基于农村家庭调查，研究发现村庄精英垄断援助接口会导致更多家庭被排除在援助之外，且这些村庄整体获得援助更少，政治变革难以自发出现，即使变革也不一定改善最被排除群体的状况。
Abstract Making use of a rural household survey, we show that in villages with a stronger monopolisation of the aid interface by local élites, households are more likely excluded from all aid. Moreover, these villages have less access to aid but this tends to be insufficient for political alternatives to emerge spontaneously, mainly due to their relatively low visibility in these villages. Finally, if village members themselves manage to bring about a political change, this does not automatically improve the conditions of the most excluded. We recommend aid donors to assume a more active role in searching and selecting community representatives.
