Abstract

It is almost ten years since we were prompted by the inspiration of Professor Islam to think collectively of the relations between Bangladesh and the many aid donors, countries and institutions, which furnished aid in the first few years of independence. Much of what we said was familiar to the large number of people from other countries who had participated in trying to help Bangladesh in those early years as well as to those involved in negotiations with donors but we hope that in putting facts before a wide audience we succeeded in documenting a side of international aid transactions which for many commentators goes largely unsuspected. In this essay we reflect a little more on the conditions that enable outside pressures to be brought on those developing countries that have decided that it is in their interests to seek external assistance, and how some of the pitfalls which we described in our study1 may be avoided.
