International aid can significantly impact domestic political structures by influencing governance, economic development, and social policy within recipient countries. Aid can support infrastructure projects, improve health care, and enhance educational opportunities, thereby contributing to economic growth. However, dependency on aid can also lead to challenges, such as reduced sovereignty and accountability if aid is not aligned with local priorities. In some cases, international aid can strengthen authoritarian regimes or undermine democratic movements, demonstrating the complex interplay between foreign assistance and political dynamics.
