The Surprising Relationship Between Foreign Aid and Repression (w/ Jessica Trisko Darden)

U.S. foreign economic assistance may seem like it'd be great for everyone in countries that receive it - and certainly less likely to be involved in repression than military aid. The evidence points a different direction. We heard from Virginia Commonwealth University professor Jessica Trisko Darden about the research behind her book Aiding and Abetting: U.S. Foreign Assistance and State Violence in a live event cohosted with our Johns Hopkins University chapter.  To learn more about the Society and participate in opportunities like this, check out our website: http://jqas.org/
