Outline of Final Research Achievements |
I examined effective aid policies, focusing on whether aid can reduce conflicts. Previous researches on conflicts have emphasized that providing-money type aid induces conflict. However, in this study, I show if some kind of contingent conditions exist,then the providing-money type aid might be effective to control the conflicts. The conclusion is that it is important to increase the cost of the conflicts. If the cost could be increased by suppressing arms exports by developed countries or by international surveillance, I showed that providing-money type aid can suppress conflicts.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
国際援助がその効果を十分発揮できない主たる理由が、被援助国内の紛争にある。本研究では、被援助国内の紛争を抑制する援助政策の検討を行った。本研究では、いくつかの不随条件があれば、一般的な援助が紛争を抑制する可能性があることを示した。これは、多額の援助を行う先進国の援助政策に貢献するだけでなく、多くの途上国に対して、発展の一助となる研究となっている。
