Over the past seven years, the Bush administration has launched a revolution in U.S. foreign aid. At no time since the administration of President Kennedy have there been more changes in the volume of aid, in aid's purposes and policies, in its organization, and in its overall status in U.S. foreign relations. George Bush's Foreign Aid: Transformation or Chaos? analyzes in detail the array of recent reforms of U.S. economic assistance and the difficult issues these reforms raise, while placing the changes and the manner of their implementation in a historical and political context. Lancaster draws out the challenges and opportunities this transformation of U.S. aid offer for the next administration to engage the emerging world of the 21st century.
"Carol Lancaster provides a timely, balanced and thoughtful analysis that both recognizes the strength of the Bush administration's laudable commitment to aid but is equally critical of their missteps in implementing and managing such a large increase in aid dollars." —Jim Kolbe, The German Marshall Fund of the United States
|"Balanced, fair, and comprehensive, George Bush's Foreign Aid offers options for reforming the fragmented U.S. aid system, informed by a realistic assessment of what can be accomplished politically in the coming years. It's a must read for all those interested in U.S. development and foreign policy." —Francis Fukuyama, Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies
