Winning "hearts and minds" in
the Muslim world is an explicitly acknowledged aim of U.S.
foreign policy and increasingly, bilateral foreign aid is
recognized as a vehicle towards this end. The authors
examine the effect of aid from foreign organizations and
on-the-ground presence of foreigners following the 2005
earthquake in Northern Pakistan on local attitudes. They
show that four years after the earthquake, humanitarian
assistance by foreigners and foreign organizations has left
a lasting imprint on population attitudes. Measured in three
different ways those living closer to the fault-line report
more positive attitudes towards foreigners, including
Europeans and Americans; trust in foreigners decreases 6
percentage points for every 10 Kilometers distance from the
fault-line. In contrast, there is no association between
distance to the fault-line and trust in local populations.
Pre-existing differences in socioeconomic characteristics or
population attitudes do not account for this finding.
Instead, the relationship between trust in foreigners and
proximity to the fault-line mirrors the greater provision of
foreign aid and foreign presence in these villages. In
villages closest to the fault-line, foreign organizations
were the second largest providers of aid after the Pakistan
army (despite reports to the contrary aid provision by
militant organizations was extremely limited, with less than
1 percent of all respondents reporting any help from such
organizations). The results provide a compelling case that
trust in foreigners is malleable, responds to humanitarian
actions by foreigners and is not a deep-rooted function of
local preferences. |
