A theoretically informed and empirically rich study exploring why states give foreign aid, arguing that how governments frame the purpose of aid—whether as humanitarian obligation, strategic influence, prestige, or other motivations—profoundly shapes policy choices. Van der Veen systematically analyses legislative debates and aid programs in Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy, and Norway over roughly fifty years, illustrating how differing national ideas and interests produce distinct aid strategies and outcomes.
