A friend asked me to fill out a survey about psychotherapy and dealing with career issues for a dissertation. I filled it out myself, and I’m passing along a link in hopes that other people can help out as well. The survey takes maybe 15 minutes to complete.

The problem of “rogue aid”
February 16th, 2007 · 1 Comment
Countries like China and Venezuela are offering foreign aid to other countries with no strings attached in hopes of buying influence. Moisés Naím describes the practice in a New York Times op-ed:
