Measuring the Influence of Foreign Aid on the Democratization of Post-Soviet Nations
Courtney P. Robbins

In an increasingly global society, different countries' economic policies continue to impact the democratization in developing states. This is especially evident when comparing post-Soviet states. By comparing financial aid statistics from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and the U.S. Agency for International Development to a discrete measurement of democratization and political freedoms, it is possible to perhaps measure the level of influence foreign aid has on a developing democracy, with outlying variables taken into account.
