This article looks at the literature on the microfoundations of the global politicalspace. It compares how selected insights from the public policy, International Relationsand International Political Economy (hereinafter IR and IPE) IR-IPE literatures,respectively, fare in explaining the creation of the Africa Infrastructure Trust Fund(ITF), the first blending facility to finance development under EU leadership. Basedon previous research on the peculiar set of accountabilities between the EU and theWorld Bank, the analysis points to the conditional relevance of EU-, relational (inter organizational) and systemic factors in the explanation of the ITF launch. It concludesthat meaningful research on delegation between global governors should aimat further cross-fertilizing IR-IPE and public policy literatures and that, ultimately,eclecticism holds the highest potential to improve the understanding of aid policymakingin a global setting.
