This Headline Series explores how the country of 1.1 billion people governs itself, how its economy functions and how it deals with its neighbors and other nations.
The end of the cold war gave way to a set of different threats that now point directly to a nexus of nuclear weapons and terrorism, according to Ronald J. Bee in FPA's next Headline Series, in which he discusses what the U.S. should believe and do about nuclear weapons post-9/11.
This Headline Series examines the experience of past aid programs since the Marshall Plan began in 1947, how they have adapted to changing global conditions and what analysis of earlier experience teaches. It considers whether certain changes in the “aid relationship” between donor and recipient may be needed to bring about conditions whereby aid programs can achieve their objectives within some reasonable time frame (20-30 years). It also explores whether increased donor contributions without specific changes in the aid relationship are likely to bring it about. A number of proposed revisions, some contemplated under the U.S. Millennium Challenge Account (MCA) of 2003 are examined in the course of this timely publication.
