| Abstract | |
Foreign aid has always been an important resource to United States foreign policy. After the 9/11 events, 2001, official documents and speeches emphasized the strategic vision that connects development and security, by which the promotion of economic opportunities and governance could refrain state fragility. In a context of diffuse security threats, development is pointed along with diplomacy and defense, as foreign policy tools to face the challenges of pandemics, humanitarian rises, organized crime and terrorism. This research objective is to understand the main strategic purposes and operation channels of the American foreign aid policy that through the Department of State, mainly USAID, and the Department of Defense, provide economic and security assistance, disaster and humanitarian relief and post-conflict reconstruction for dozens of countries around the world. The foreign aid agenda is complex and fragmented, since the guidelines formulation until the negotiation for funding in the Congress and the aid project implementation abroad. Working with primary sources, the research seeks to analyze the institutional organization and budgetary distribution of the main foreign aid projects in the 21st century, in order to understand the history of foreign aid and its importance to US foreign policy.
