We argue that traditional Official Development Assistance (ODA), delivered through bilateral aid agencies, can guide these investment decisions. Specifically, aid agencies generate valuable, location-specific, investment-relevant knowledge through their ODA-funded activities across regions of the Global South. When shared with DFIs, this information reduces uncertainty and increases the likelihood of DFI investment in those same regions. To test this expectation, we leverage an original geocoded dataset comprising investments by 12 DFIs from 12 OECD-DAC donor countries, matched with subnational ODA data from the GODAD dataset for the period 2000–2020. Our quantitative analyses reveal a robust and consistent association between ODA activity and DFI entry at the subnational level. To probe the mechanism, we conduct qualitative case studies of Germany, France, and the United States, illustrating how aid agencies and DFIs exchange information and coordinate investment decisions. Our findings contribute to a growing literature on the spatial allocation of development finance and provide new insight into how traditional ODA and national DFIs interact as part of an evolving development cooperation bureaucracy.","PeriodicalId":75182,"journal":{"name":"The review of international organizations","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148768930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For peer review to function as an accountability mechanism, it must first satisfy a core requirement: peer review evaluations must accurately reflect donor practices. We examine whether DAC peer reviews interpret donor behavior on tied aid in ways that are consistent with observable aid-tying practices and shared DAC standards. Using a newly collected corpus of 143 DAC peer reviews from 1994 to 2020, we find a strong, systematic relationship between the reviewed donor’s aid-tying practices and the resulting content of the review documents. This linkage is driven primarily by explicit recommendations to untie aid and discussions of the standard, rather than by positive recognition of aid tying. Contrary to concerns that peer reviewers may intentionally soften evaluations and criticism to protect their own interests, we find no evidence that reviewers who themselves exhibit higher levels of aid tying produce evaluations that deviate from actual practice. Our findings demonstrate that DAC peer reviews generate credible peer evaluations that strengthen accountability dynamics in development cooperation. These insights contribute to literatures on peer reviews in global governance, the politics of international organizations, and foreign aid.","PeriodicalId":75182,"journal":{"name":"The review of international organizations","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148693379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Building on scholarship on headquarters as ecosystems, city diplomacy, and informal power, I argue that states are more lenient vis-à-vis international organizations with headquarters in their own country. States are likely to opt for loose, rather than stringent, delegation of authority in everyday decision-making—holding the promise of increased informal influence and greater mutual trust and embeddedness over time. In the context of earmarked funding by Western donors—my empirical case—I hypothesize that donors are likely to provide less stringent funding to international organizations with headquarters in their own countries. Examining voluntary contributions from 32 donors to 255 international organizations between 1990 and 2020, I find support for my argument: international organizations receive less stringent earmarked funding from the donor-country in which the organization is headquartered. In additional analyses, I show that these effects are driven by thematic earmarking, and that the magnitude of the effects increases over time. I also discuss the two extreme cases of the United States and Switzerland to illustrate potential mechanisms. Taken together, my findings have important implications for our understanding of the micro-foundations of state action, the geography of international organizations, and earmarked funding.","PeriodicalId":75182,"journal":{"name":"The review of international organizations","volume":"58 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146006107","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
