《外援书札》主要集中在分析主要的国际援助行为体的动机和方式同时，关注相关的地缘政治和经济格局变化，例如冷战结束后发展中国家作为东西方争夺对象的历史地位的发展变化。还试图讨论发展的主题、技术、方式和方向之间的相互作用，通过对外援助这个渠道可以清晰地看出，观念和技术等细节因素对于国际关系的潜在和巨大的影响力。所以，在这里讨论的不只是援款、项目、技术等等这样一些树木，而是尝试通过这些树木去判断整个森林。

The Foreign Aid Notebook focuses on analysing the motivations and modalities of major international aid actors, while also focusing on related geopolitical and economic changes, such as the development of developing countries' historical status as objects of contention between East and West after the end of the Cold War. It also attempts to discuss the interplay between themes, technologies, modalities and directions of development, and through the channel of foreign aid, it is clear that the potential and enormous influence of conceptual and technological details on international relations can be clearly seen. So, what we are talking about here is not just a few trees such as grants, projects, technologies, etc., but an attempt to judge the entire forest by these trees.（AI翻译）
