Who Cares? European Public Opinion on Foreign Aid and Political Conditionality
基于27个欧洲国家的调查数据，研究公民支持外国援助中政治附加条件的个体和国家层面决定因素，发现右翼政治倾向和认为本国政府不按能力办事的人更可能支持附加条件，但政治倾向的影响仅限于传统欧盟捐助国。
Abstract We provide evidence on the individual and country‐level determinants of citizens' support for political conditionality in foreign aid, using novel survey data for 27 European countries. Based on the welfare state literature and existing public opinion research in foreign aid, we expect citizens with more rightist political orientations as well as those who do not perceive their own state apparatus to function in a meritocratic way to be more likely to support political conditionality. Our multi‐level analysis supports these hypotheses in general, but also shows that the effect of political orientations on support for political conditionality in foreign aid is limited to traditional EU donor countries, where the left/right‐cleavage has been dominant in politics.
