Abstract:

The U.S. government has identified the revival of development assistance as a primary foreign-policy objective since the onset of the war on terrorism. Despite this consensus, ideological divisions among legislators with authority over aid budgets have prevented the formulation of a cohesive strategy toward global development. Of primary concern is the degree to which the United States adopts a unilateral aid strategy, the presumption underlying the Millennium Challenge Account program initiated by President Bush, or whether the government collaborates with other donors through the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and other intergovernmental organizations. This division, reflective of the general polarization within Congress, threatens to undermine the prospects that the United States can regain its leadership role in foreign-aid regime it lost to Japan in the 1990s. The study examines foreign aid as a microcosm of U.S. foreign policy, which is characterized by domestic polarization as well as alienation from the international community.
