Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This article investigates how UK aid to Africa changed in the 2010s. Based on a thematic analysis of nearly 30 key policy documents spanning 2000–2020. It concludes that the securitisation of aid to Africa, as a framework for understanding donor motivation, morphed, by the close of the 2010s, into the ‘nationalisation’ of aid. This prescribed neoliberal development in the UK national interest and ignored the way in which neoliberal development creates insecurity. Furthermore, the nationalisation of aid reflected the national populist turn across several states and was driven by and utilised particular domestic and international political agendas.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
