This thesis explores the complex relationship between aid and statehood using thecase study of post-genocide Rwanda. Since the 1994 genocide, Rwanda hasactively courted the support of particular donors, securing preferential aidrelationships with some of them and becoming something of a 'donor darling.'The thesis uses the Rwandan case to examine how regimes become donor darlingsand the effects of such a designation. Using the work of Harrison (2004) andBayart (1993; 2000), I argue that the creation of a donor darling is a two wayprocess; donors attempt to identify desirable qualities in recipient states, andAfrican regimes actively market themselves in relation to donor priorities. Thethesis will demonstrate that the Rwandan regime uses donor narratives ondevelopment, security and African statehood, to access aid, presenting itself as apotential partner in achieving goals of certain donors. Following Bayart. this canbe seen as a strategy of extraversion. The thesis examines four areas of Rwandanregime policy: political space; ethnic difference: intervention in Zaire/DRC andpeacekeeping in Darfur. These demonstrate a significant disjuncture between theregime's stated commitments to security and good governance and its actualpolicies. Despite this, donors have been highly reluctant to criticise the postgenocideregime. I argue that this reflects a donor concern with stability that mayoutweigh commitments to particular areas of good governance. Donors such asthe UK have actively promoted 'post-conditionality' and 'African solutions toAfrican problems,' emphasising the responsibility of African regimes forgovernance and security on the continent. However, I use the Rwandan exampleto argue that by heavily supporting donor darlings, donors are to some degreeresponsible for those regime's policies. Although they may wish to decouple aidfrom its effects, the Rwandan case shows this is unrealistic.
