Über dieses Buch

Through comparative studies of aid-supported infrastructure projects in East Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, the book examines how aid could assist development processes by facilitating development of local endogenous institutions.

1. Institutional Evolution through Development Cooperation: An Overview
Abstract
Despite a significant injection of foreign aid since gaining political independence, most countries in Sub-Saharan Africa entered the new millennium as heavily dependent on official aid for sustaining socio-economic development. This record should be assessed against the backdrop, whereby throughout the protracted debt crisis of the 1980s and 1990s, the traditional donor community dominated the economic policy debates of a large number of heavily indebted countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, and it tried to exercise a firm grip on the process of economic and governance reforms in Africa, leveraging reforms for more aid in one form or another at large. As shown in Figure 1.1, where official development assistance (ODA) received is shown as a percentage of Gross National Income (GNI) by regional groups, this situation was quite a sharp contrast to the experiences in the East Asia and Pacific region (EAP) in the post-war years, where most countries managed to reduce their reliance on foreign aid over time, with many graduating successfully from the aid-recipient status altogether.

2. Shifting Grounds in Aid Relationships and Effectiveness Debate: Implications for Economic Development in Sub-Saharan Africa
Abstract
Over the last two decades, the rise of large Asian economies such as China and India and other emerging economies as new economic powers has been shaping a new world economic order. These countries, often grouped under the acronym of BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa), can no longer be ignored in any decisions concerning global governance spanning all aspects of geo-political, strategic and economic issues.1 Their rapid ascendance in the global economic scene is also felt acutely in other developing countries at their doorsteps. They have been exerting a growing influence on the course of economic development in the developing world through their fast-evolving and ever-intensifying economic interactions.

3. The Eastern Seaboard Development Plan and Industrial Cluster in Thailand: A Quantitative Overview
Abstract
The Eastern Seaboard Development Plan (ESDP) was one of the largest infrastructure development projects in Thailand. Centred on the two major port facilities, Laem Chabang in Chonburi province and Map Ta Phut in Rayong province, it covered wide-ranging infrastructures including transportation, water utilities and industrial estates. Its purpose was to build up an industrial base for the next step of Thailand’s industrialization to strengthen labour-intensive industries and to create a heavy petrochemical industry utilizing natural gas in the Gulf of Thailand. The plan was initially designed in the late 1970s by the National Economic Social Development Board and was financed mainly by the World Bank and the government of Japan. As is discussed in Chapter 4 as well as Shimomura (2000, 2003), the execution process of the ESDP was characterized by much confusion and complicated domestic political conflicts and differences in the perceptions among the Thai government and the foreign donors. Nevertheless, the wide-ranging infrastructures in the plan doubtlessly contributed to Thailand’s remarkable industrialization since the mid-1980s and functioned as a central platform for the Thai economy.

4. The Eastern Seaboard Development Plan of Thailand: Institutional Aspects of the Challenges and Responses
Abstract
This chapter deals with the case of the Eastern Seaboard Development Plan, which was planned and constructed during the 1980s and early 1990s in Thailand, with particular reference to its institutional aspects. After examining the interplay between the challenges Thailand faced and its responses to these obstacles, we try to analyse the key institutional elements that led to the achievements of its goals, in an attempt to draw out hints for other developing countries, including Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).

5. ODA and Economic Development in Vietnam: An Assessment of the Transfer of Intangible Resources
Abstract
Since the start of Doi Moi (Renovation) in 1986 and especially after the market-oriented reforms in 1989, Vietnam has experienced rapid, continuous socio-economic development. The country is often cited as one of the best examples of success in the transition from an economy based on central planning to a market-oriented one. Economic growth has been high and continual, averaging over 7.4 per cent per annum in the 1990–2010 period. Poverty incidence went down from about 70 per cent at the end of the 1980s to 10.6 per cent in 2010. Exports and investment gradually became the key drivers of growth. Notably high economic growth was also evident during Vietnam’s rapid progress towards international economic integration.

6. Brantas River Basin Development Plan of Indonesia
Abstract
The Brantas river, one of the major water resources in Indonesia, is located in the central part of the East Java province, Java Island, the Republic of Indonesia (Indonesia). The river has a catchment area of 12,000 km2 or 25 per cent of the East Java province, and a total length of 320 km, running from the active volcano of Mount Kelud to the city of Surabaya, the second largest city of Indonesia, at the mouth of the Brantas river. The river basin is rich in development potential with fertile soil, tropical climate and abundant water resources: 8 billion m3 in a dry year to 12 billion m3 in an average year. The average annual rainfall is 1,500 to 2,000 mm, 85 per cent falling during the rainy season, November to April.

7. Institutional Comparative Study of Brantas (Indonesia) and Kilimanjaro (Tanzania) — and Its Policy Implications
Abstract
As was described in Chapter 6, the Brantas River Basin Development Plan in Indonesia was supported by Japan’s financial and technical assistance. It not only successfully produced individual project outcomes, but also promoted institutional evolution, policy improvement and endogenous human resource enhancement that had an effect in regions beyond the Brantas river basin. In contrast, the Kilimanjaro Agriculture Development Programme in Tanzania, also a long-term public infrastructure investment financially and technically supported by Japan, has not as yet produced the hoped-for impact in terms of institutional evolution, policy improvement and human resource enhancement, although certain individual projects have attained some success. What were the causes behind this distinct difference between the two infrastructure projects?

8. China: From an Aid Recipient to an Emerging Major Donor
Abstract
As an emerging economic superpower, China (the People’s Republic of China) is now rapidly increasing its presence in the arena of international development assistance. Although China has extended external assistance since 1950, one year after its independence, its foreign aid activities continue to remain ambiguous2 in comparison with those of OECD’s DAC member countries.3 However, in April 2011, China’s Information Office of the State Council issued its first White Paper articulating the principles of China’s foreign assistance policy.
