ABSTRACT
The previous chapter sought to establish a 'theoretical' framework which could be used to explain the recent evolution of France's and Britain's political aid policies south of the Sahara. The models selected, the Advocacy Coalition Framework and the bargaining model, were found to shed some light on the general workings of the development policy-making process, but no attempt was made to establish whether they could be used to explain French and UK aid practice in specific African countries. That will be the aim of this chapter.
