Answered a very similar question
Their question: “Role of ethics in international aid to less-developed nations, with examples (10)”
This PYQ asks to comment on ethics in contemporary international aid, and Gore contrasts Vaccine Maitri with China's debt-trap diplomacy and IMF/World Bank conditionality, exactly the ethical fault-lines of aid.
Key learnings from their answer
- ›Reused one deeply-developed example across two linked questions, India's Vaccine Maitri / vaccines to African countries served both Q4a (ethics of international aid) and Q5a (vaccine diplomacy) -> Build a few rich, fact-specific examples you can redeploy across related questions rather than collecting many shallow ones.
- ›Rich contemporary example bank: Vaccine Maitri, China debt-trap/Sri Lanka, SEBI-Adani-Hindenburg, MGNREGA digitisation, CCI vs Google
What they cited: China's debt-trap diplomacy; Sri Lanka; IMF/World Bank aid conditionality; US/Europe arming Ukraine (Q4a) · India's Vaccine Maitri during Covid-19, vaccines to African countries (Q4a, Q5a)
