policy emblematic of the imperial role of the US in development aid. Bibliography Brazys, Samuel. "Race to Give? The Selective Effectiveness of United States Trade Capacity Building Assistance." Review of International Political Economy 17, no. 3 (2010): 537-61. This paper looks at the effectiveness of trade capacity building aid from the United States as a way to examining the effectiveness of foreign aid in general. To test the effectiveness of this aid, the author looks at how a countries exports have changed as a result of the US engaging in trade capacity building aid. There can be three possible relationships between exports and trade capacity building aid, exports from the country increase to many trading partners, exports increase to the US, or exports do not increase. The evidence shows strong support that exports increase to the US, and while there is only weak evidence that there is an increase in exports to the rest of the world.

the mid-19th century, local and provincial governments enjoyed a significant degree of financial independence which included coining money and collecting taxes for local use. Regionalism, an ideology that suggested that local governments should have more authority, was strong in the 1920s. Hence, one of the KMT’s economic reforms was to revoke economic power from local governments. In 1935, when the KMT decided to use legal tender as the national currency and to abolish local currencies, it did…

This is based on the idea of linear development and that total secularism and abandonment of…

Upon realizing Dr. Kelly is the program director for…
