Description :
Using the Asia-Pacific region to assess changes in U.S. and Japanese aid policies, the analysis compares the rhetoric and discourses evident in policy documents with actual aid disbursements to the region before and after the Cold War. US refocused aid discourse from geopolitics toward sustainable development and these goals are challenged by an aid-fatigued Congress. Japanese support for aid remains strong. The gap between the two is increasing over time.
