Aleksandra Rabczun , Paweł Łopatka

Abstract

Socio-economic development and related issues are an extremely important issue raised at both theoretical and practical levels. The diversity of countries in terms of the level of socio-economic development is one of the most important global problems faced by both researchers and politicians. Central and South Asia stands out economically due to its high level of industrialisation, which, however, does not translate into quality of life and prosperity. Historical histories, including those of the colonial period, play an important role in the contemporary development path of many countries in the region. This article will attempt to answer the question about the impact of development aid on the socio-economic development of selected countries in Central and South Asia. The grey incidence analysis method will be used for this purpose.
