What does US aid "buy" in the Middle East? Drawing on extensive
primary source research, this book examines the role and
consequences of US aid to three countries in the Middle East. The
author argues that the political survival strategies of incumbent
leaders in Egypt, Israel, and Jordan shaped not only the type of
aid that these countries received from the US, but also its
developmental and geopolitical impact. Leaders who relied heavily
on distributing selective benefits to their ruling coalitions were
more likely to receive forms of US aid that complemented their
distributive political economies and undermined the state's
developmental capacity, which simultaneously rendered them more
dependent on US resources, and more likely to cede fragments of
their sovereignty to their major donor. Non-distributive leaders,
however, could reap the full benefits of highly discretionary and
technologically sophisticated aid, incorporating it into
developmental policies that rendered them progressively less
dependent on Washington-and better able to say "no" when it was in
their best interest.
