Summary

Chapter 6 shifts the focus from explaining why aid officials differ in their aid delivery decisions across different political economies to investigating the extent to which these preferences may be driven by what donor publics want aid officials to do.On the basis of survey experimental evidence collected in Germany and the United States, I show that differences in aid delivery decisions between US and German aid officials are not consistent with differences between how the two donor publics think about foreign aid delivery.
