Notes

1 None of the dates for published works cited in the United States chapter are more recent than 2009 except for two OECD study: Development Cooperation Report (2017) and the 2017 Development Cooperation Peer Review report.

2 The statistical data presented in Stokke’s statistical appendices are somewhat dated, the most recent being for the year 2015. Some are far older. In 2015, the ODA/GNI ratio for the Netherlands was 0.76% (Stokke Table A1), but it has fallen even further, to 0.60 in 2017 and 0.61% by 2018.

4 Pages 9 to 14 describe Stokke’s analytic framework which are dominated by foreign policy and international relations approaches and theories.
