Every year the Administration and the Congress battle stubbornly
and often bitterly over appropriations for foreign aid. Clearly
much more is at stake than a difference of opinion over a small
fraction of the annual budget: the tug-of-war stems from clashes of
basic political philosophies, divergent approaches to one of the
most important elements of our foreign policy, and inherent
conflicts among various domestic power blocs. In his book, which
adds a much-needed dimension to the discussion and analysis of
United States foreign policy, O'Leary reveals the many complex
factors that go into the making of American foreign aid policy.
While placing the emphasis on the political system as a whole--its
components, the relative power of actors in the system, and the
manner in which they interact to create policy--the author presents
a detailed and enlightening picture of the attitudes of the general
public, the political parties, the pressure groups, and Congress
itself to the issue of foreign aid. Basing his work on poll data,
press comment, Congressional and Executive documents, Congressional
roll-call votes, and interviews with congressmen, their assistants,
foreign aid officials, and lobbyists, O'Leary makes clear how the
workings of the American political system affect our foreign aid
policy and programs. Originally published in 1967, it remains
useful for all courses dealing with our foreign relations,
Congress, or the specifics of the operation of our government.
