Will more aid help developing countries? The answer to this question depends on our view of states in developing countries. Two views prevail. One view sees aid undermining government accountability to citizens, propping up autocratic regimes and disappearing into the pockets of corrupt officials. Another perspective sees aid contributing crucial fiscal and administrative capacity that helps governments better serve their people. In fact, neither view is entirely right (or wrong). Increasing aid enhances government capacity up to a point, but aid can undermine legitimacy if it undermines state accountability to citizens
