Abstract

Purpose—This study argues that the nature of aid modalities is a practical factor for aid donors in choosing modalities, while the theory shows the international norms and trends, the donor’s domestic political environment, and the circumstances in the recipient country are the main rationale for the choice of aid modality.
Design/Methodology/Approach—This study examines the main determinants of aid modalities by exploring the cases of aid organizations in South Korea with an aid modality of triangular cooperation (TrC). This study suggests more case studies to theoretically conceptualize practical approaches into academic discussions as well as separate research projects regarding TrC.
Findings—TrC can be used to develop an effective support mechanism from South Korea to North Korea in revising the old Sunshine Policy as well as the Inter-Korea Cooperation Fund (IKCF) in Moon Jae- In’s new government, or even after.
