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.
