Aid, Blame, and Backlash: the Political Economy of Unpopular Aid
Aid, Blame, and Backlash: The Political Economy of Unpopular Aid Cleo O'Brien-Udry∗ February 6, 2021 Abstract Not all aid is welcome. Aid targeted at minorities or other marginalized groups in recipient countries is a common donor priority. However, minority aid is unpopular in recipient countries due to persistent discrimination against out-groups and expectations of political favoritism from political representatives. Backlash against the presence of unpopular aid in recipient countries may cause majority-group members to blame their political representatives for allowing or acquiring unpopular aid. I develop a theory of how blame-attribution and donor-driven incentives to promote aid for vulnerable pop- ulations reduce trust in government. A case study of Kosovo illustrates the dynamic of political backlash against governments when aid to an unpopular minority is delivered by international actors. I test the theory on a novel dataset of aid projects in Kosovo by leveraging semi-random timing of aid project start and completion. I find that exposure to aid to marginalized groups negatively affects trust in local and national governments. Donor attempts to help vulnerable populations may lead to backlash that empowers anti-minority parties, making the political landscape of recipient countries more dangerous for the groups they sought to aid. ∗Graduate Student, Department of Political Science, Yale University, [email protected].

(Sachs, 2012, 2206) Reducing inequality, a key subcomponent of all of these goals, requires addressing unequal access to services for and discrimination against minority (ethnic, religious, racial) groups. -
