This work distinguishes between "aid" and "help" in development finance, and look at aid in the context of other North-south flows, such as trade or debt service. Issues examined include food aid, the European Union's Lome co-operation, Japan's emergence as the largest donor, the question of South-South aid, and the role of non-governmental organizations. There is also an analysis of new trends, usch as political conditionality, the UNDP's proposal to reorient aid towards human development, and the question of aid diversion to the former communist countries. The authors conclude with proposals for improvement, such as the combination of emergency and development aid, financial accountability of donors, international insolvency to stop aid bailing-out creditors, or the emulation of the Marshall plan's successful self-monitoring by recipients.
