I am sincerely grateful to Fulvio Cammarano and Igor Pellicciari for having provided the very first stimulus to elaborate around foreign aid as a political practice, and for having continued to sustain such stimulus with the exchange of ideas and the invitation to conferences on the matter. I am also very grateful to Raffaella Baritono for having encouraged me to start putting ideas on paper and for having offered crucial suggestions for the development of the study. I owe the same debt of gratitude to Silvia Vida and Lorenzo Gradoni who have many times shared with me their very precious inputs, have triggered many reflections and have contrib- uted to make this challenging endeavour also a pleasant one. I would like to express my gratitude to Carlo Carini, Raffaella Gherardi, Maurizio Ricciardi and Fausto Proietti for having supported this work from the very beginning, and to Michele Filippini, Lorenzo Fioramonti and the external reviewer at Palgrave Macmillan for their precious preliminary feedback and suggestions. Despite all these valuable contributions, the responsibility of the book’s content, including any flaws and omissions that remain, is mine alone. I would like to express my sincere thanks and appreciation to Daniela DeBono for having proofread and copy-edited the manuscript, and to Christina M. Brian, Ambra Finotello and the editorial and production staff at Palgrave Macmillan for their precious professional support.

It would not have been possible without the continued and enriching support of Gustavo Gozzi, whose many professional and personal ‘gifts’ have been, and will always remain, profoundly inspirational. DOI: 10.1057/9781137505903.0002 Introduction Abstract: This chapter illustrates the main characteristics of the analytical perspective adopted within the study. It starts by comparing this perspective to other approaches dealing with the same matter, and goes on to illustrate the hermeneutical challenges posed by the analysis of foreign aid. ‘The Foreign Aid Regime’, this chapter argues, represents an original, though preliminary and self-consciously limited, attempt to investigate the specific regime of governmental practices that is established and maintained by and through North–South foreign aid. Keywords: development foreign aid; donor/recipient relationship; foreign aid as gift; governmentality; political thought Furia, Annalisa.
