From that link:
Aid potentially can contribute to democratization in several ways: (1) through technical assistance focusing on electoral processes, the strengthening of legislatures and judiciaries as checks on executive power, and the promotion of civil society organizations, including a free press; (2) through conditionality; and (3) by improving education and increasing per capita incomes, which research shows are conducive to democratization. This study provides a multivariate analysis of the impact of aid on democratization in a large sample of recipient nations over the 1975–2000 period. Using two different democracy indexes and two different measures of aid intensity, no evidence is found that aid promotes democracy. This result is robust to alternative model specifications and estimation techniques, including the use of exogenous instruments for aid. Results are similar if the analysis is confined to the post–Cold War period (1990–2000), despite the reduced dependence of the U.S. and other donors on pro-Western authoritarian regimes among aid recipient nations.
Note that the body of the text states that
"no evidence is found that aid promotes democracy"
What is detrimental to the US is that we don't solve poverty in our own country before we waste our money abroad hoping that aid will promote friendly people and governments who end up hating us anyway. The US must lead the World by example not through bribery or force.
Furthermore, it has turned into a "Big Business, in which some people are making money first, and treating aid as a secondary situation. See this link:
