    Abstract : This dissertation focuses on the sub-national impact of foreign aid on civil conflicts by asking the question: How does foreign aid committed to contested areas affect the intensity of violence in those areas?

The study introduces two concepts: funding concentration and barriers to exploiting aid. READ MORE
