Soviet-third World Relations
Author: Carol R SaivetzPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 100031278X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 215
Book Description
Soviet-Third World Relations presents an overview of Soviet policy toward the less-developed countries and considers the determinants of that policy and its reflection in action. The authors first examine the theoretical underpinnings of Soviet-Third World policy, including Leninism and Soviet developmental models, and explore the tensions between prescribed "progressive" development strategies and the realities of Third World political processes. Next, the authors present a detailed look at the record of Soviet activities in the Third World. This is a chronological and regional account, which describes Soviet policy in the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and Asia. This part also provides a discussion of the openings (such as local conflicts, "liberationist" movements, and socialist causes) and the obstacles (nationalism, anti-imperialism, the volatility of Third World politics) to Soviet policy in the Third World. It closes with an analysis of Soviet foreign policy tools, and asks whether chosen policy instruments achieve their desired objectives. In the final section of the book, the authors look at the decision-making context for Soviet-Third World relations, including an analysis of Soviet objectives, decision-making variables, and the participants in the decision-making process. They conclude by assessing trends in Soviet-Third World relations, the successes and failures of Soviet activities in the nonindustrial world, and analyzing the current situation. Here they address as well the lessons learned from the past and the prospects for the post-Brezhnev, post-Andropov era.
The Politics of United States Foreign Aid
Author: George M. GuessPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136889841
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 482
Book Description
First published in 1987, this reissue explores contemporary United States foreign aid policies and thinking in the Reagan era. The author argues that aid policy is often confused as a result of bureaucratic decision-making processes. The book contrasts the experience of the many countries where aid-giving has produced unwished-for effects with the few countries where the desired results have occurred. The author concludes by arguing for a new approach to aid-giving by the United States.
The Global Crisis in Foreign Aid
Author: Richard GrantPublisher: Syracuse University Press
ISBN: 9780815627715
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
The internal destabilization of many poor countries that accompanied the end of the Cold War and the general failure of structural adjustment programs have changed the nature and allotment of foreign aid around the world. Major donors of foreign aid such as the United States, Japan, and the European Union have been shifting their geographical priorities in allocating aid, as well as their project emphasis, since the end of the Cold War. In addition, multilateral aid agencies—the World Bank, the United Nations, and the International Monetary Fund—are attempting to redress past failures of aid and revamp policies and priorities. Moreover, aid recipients in Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Eastern Europe, the former Soviet republics, and Central America are establishing priorities of their own and evaluating the success and failure of past aid programs. This volume stands out in the literature on foreign aid because it includes contributions from eight policy representatives from a range of important donor and recipient countries—the United States, Japan, the Netherlands, Bolivia, Egypt, Bangladesh, El Salvador, and Poland. Timely in its assessment of the crisis and the transition in the foreign aid regime, the book provides a view from inside the policy process and imparts a researcher's perspective on the changing priorities for donors and recipients. The wide-ranging essay—most previously unpublished—aim to shed light on the changing political, economic, and regional geographies of aid at the end of the twentieth century.
U.S. Foreign Policy Toward the Third World: A Post-cold War Assessment
Author: Jurgen RulandPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1315497476
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
The contributors to this work examine the evolution of U.S. foreign policy toward the Third World, and the new policy challenges facing developing nations in the post-Cold War era. The book incorporates the key assessment standards of U.S. foreign policies directed toward critical regions, including Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia, and Southeast Asia. Through this region-by-region analysis, readers will get the information and insight needed to fully understand U.S. policy objectives - especially with regard to economic and security issues in the wake of 9/11 - vis a vis the developing world. The book outlines both successes and failures of Washington, as it seeks to deal with the Third World in a new era of terrorism, trade, and democratic enlargement. It also considers whether anti-Western sentiment in Third World regions is a direct result of U.S. foreign policies since the end of the Cold War.
Soviets in International Organizations

ISBN: 140087615X
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 401
Book Description
Focusing on the relationship between the Soviet Union and the leading Afro-Asian neutralists, Professor Rubinstein studies Soviet policy and behavior in international organizations concerned with promoting the economic and social welfare of developing countries. He has made a thorough examination of the records of many such organizations, including the Economic and Social Council, the Technical Assistance Committee, and the International Labor Organization. To gain insight into the conduct and objectives of Soviet representatives at meetings of these groups, and into the behavior of Soviet nationals employed in international secretariats, the author undertook extensive interviewing of neutralist, Communist, and Western officials in New York, Geneva, Vienna, Bangkok, and New Delhi. Originally published in 1964.

Pages : 334
Book Description
Originally published in 1984 this book focuses principally on the use of foreign aid by the members of OPEC in the 1970s and demonstrates how the divisive elements both within OPEC and between OPEC and the rest of the developing world prevented OPEC from using aid to advance developing world objectives. It explains why the OPEC countries filed to achieve the goals they set for themselves and will be of interest to all those concerned with the politics of the developing world, development assistance, Middle East regional economics and political and security issues.

Book Description
This study analyses the objectives behind Soviet economic aid to non-communist Third World countries from 1955 through 1989. Policy implications of competing strategic and interactionist perspectives on Soviet-Third World relations are examined with respect to three objectives: politics, trade and development and tested against the record of Soviet aid allocations. The results reveal important similarities between the foreign aid objectives of the Soviet Union and the United States and generalise findings from previous studies of Western aid programs.
