When the Money Stops: Foreign Aid Cuts and the Economic Militarization of Civilian Life

Join us for our next DRGHub event. What happens to a country's civilian economy when foreign aid disappears overnight? Drawing on her multi-year research, Dr. Roya Izadi will present her work on how sudden aid losses create incentives for governments to expand military involvement in business and economic activity, and what that means for democracy, rights, and governance.
