Aid State by Jake Johnston
This book argues that international assistance should prioritize building effective, accountable state institutions rather than bypassing governments or limiting support to short-term projects; it traces how aid has shaped state capacity, critiques common donor practices that undermine local ownership, and outlines practical approaches—long-term, politically aware engagement, support for public financial management, civil service reform, revenue mobilization and adaptive technical assistance—to strengthen legitimacy and service delivery so developing countries can sustain their own development agendas.
