Reviews

'An important contribution to research on human rights and foreign aid. It offers an insightful evaluation of the US aid regime and its oftentimes detrimental consequences for those on the receiving end. This book should be of interest to both scholars and policymakers alike.' Sabine Carey, University of Nottingham, UK & PRIO/CSCW, Norway 'How to balance our own security against the human rights of others is the question that motivates this book. Scholars and those in policy circles will benefit from the analysis offered. It tackles this hard and important issue using a mix of research techniques and in a thought-provoking way - not least in the call for honesty as the United States considers its policy objectives in giving aid to other countries.' Neil J. Mitchell, University of Aberdeen, UK
