From the end of WWII to the end of the Obama administration,
development assistance in Africa has been viewed as an essential
instrument of US foreign policy. Although many would characterise
it as a form of aid aimed at enhancing the lives of those in the
developing world, it can also be viewed as a tool for advancing US
national security objectives. Using a theoretical framework based
on 'power', United States Assistance Policy in Africa examines the
American assistance discourse, its formation and justification in
relation to historical contexts, and its operation on the African
continent. Beginning with a problematisation of development as a
concept that structures hierarchies between groups of people, the
book highlights how cultural, political and economic conceptions
influence the American assistance discourse. The book further
highlights the relationship between American national security and
its assistance policy in Africa during the Cold War, the post-Cold
War, and the post-9/11 contexts. This book will be of great
interest to students and scholars of Development Studies, Political
Science and International Relations with particular interest in US
foreign policy, USAID and/or African Studies.
