It is usually argued, by international relations scholars as well as by development specialists, that food aid donation is motivated solely by the economic and political self-interest of the donor, and that it is efficient in furthering these interests. This article argues that both these statements are wrong, and goes on to develop an alternative interpretation, centering on the operational relevance of a developmental international food aid regime. Finally, the theoretical implications of such interpretation for the study of international relations are briefly discussed
