US foreign aid is shedding moral pretence and revealing its strategic logic. Our new book, Aid for Dominance (with @santinoregilme) shows that despite different delivery models, both US & China use aid to shape & dominate recipient states @chinagsproject.bsky.social @scmpnews.bsky.social

Congratulations to our Senior Lecturer in Politics Obert Hodzi, and co-author @ssregilme.bsky.social. Their book illustrates how aid functions as a strategic tool embedded in broader power struggles. It is now available via @manchesterup.bsky.social : manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/9781526183194/
