Book Description
This title was first published in 2000: United States economic assistance programs in Latin America have been frequently restructured during the course of the past four decades. This book examines the evolution of US aid to the region, describes and explains US aid to the region since 1960. Focus is placed on four successive initiatives, the Alliance of Progress for the 1960s, the New Directions Mandate of the 1970s, the Private Enterprise Initiative of the 1980s and the Democracy Initiative of the 1990s. Empirical examples of actual programs, drawn from primary source documents, are used to illustrate more general propositions. The primary objectives of this study are to describe and explain US assistance policy toward Latin America during the past four decades and account for changes in the aid regime over time. Such assistance is typically linked to either the developmental needs of recipient countries, or the economic interests of transnational corporations.

International Economic and U.S. Military Assistance Programs and Agencies

Category : Economic assistance
Languages : en
Pages : 626
Book Description
The purpose of the paper is to identify and describe significant sources of foreign assistance and their interrelations, with emphasis on the US programs of assistance to less-developed nations. It is designed to provide a partial basis for further studies on coordination and effectiveness of these programs including problems associated with coordination of US economic and military assistance programs (MAPs). The paper covers programs and agencies extending capital grants and loans, investment guarantees, technical assistance, and other forms of economic assistance primarily to less-developed countries. Public sources such as governments, UN agencies, and US voluntary agencies are described. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is also covered because of its role in stabilizing currencies that otherwise would endanger national development programs although it is not a source of economic aid in direct support of development programs. Military assistance is included only to the extent of the US program because of problems in coordinating US economic and military assistance. (Author).

Foreign Aid as Foreign Policy

Pages : 324
Book Description
Foreign Aid as Foreign Policy presents a wide-ranging, thoughtful analysis of the most significant economic-aid program of the 1960s, John F. Kennedy’s Alliance for Progress. Introduced in 1961, the program was a ten-year, multi-billion-dollar foreign-aid commitment to Latin American nations, meant to help promote economic growth and political reform, with the long-term goal of countering Communism in the region. Considering the Alliance for Progress in Chile, Brazil, the Dominican Republic, and Colombia, Jeffrey F. Taffet deftly examines the program’s successes and failures, providing an in-depth discussion of economic aid and foreign policy, showing how policies set in the 1960s are still affecting how the U.S. conducts foreign policy today. This study adds an important chapter to the history of US-Latin American Relations.

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.
