This paper explores the institutional evolution and paradigm shifts of global Official Development Assistance (ODA) over the post-WWII era across four historical stages: the 1950s–1960s ''Capital and Infrastructure Paradigm'' centered on modernization; the 1980s ''Economic Governance Paradigm'' driven by neoliberal structural adjustment; the 1990s post-Cold War ''Global Governance Paradigm'' emphasizing good governance and human rights; and the 21st-century ''Sustainable Development Paradigm'' integrating global risks. While reflecting international political-economic shifts, legacy paradigms endure. Foreign aid remains an interplay of diplomatic interests, security strategies, and domestic politics, coexisting as institutional evolution and power continuity. Recently, driven by the rise of the Global South, US-China rivalry, and the US retreat from multilateralism amid foreign aid restructuring, the liberal international order faces realignment. Consequently, global ODA stands at a critical juncture, portending a new wave of paradigm transformation. |
