Summary:
Dennis Merrill examines the origins and implementation of U.S.
economic
assistance programs in
India
from independence in 1947 to the height of John F. Kennedy's "development decade" in 1963. As the Cold War spread to the Third World in the late 1940s and 1950s, American policymakers tried to use
economic
aid to draw neutral
India
into the Western camp. Citing the country as the "world's largest democracy," the Americans hoped to establish
India
as a showcase for American-sponsored development and a counterweight to the Communist model in the People's Republic of China. By the early 1960s,
India
has become one of the Third World's leading recipients of American
economic
assistance. Yet, as Merrill demonstrates,
India
remained dedicated to a nonaligned status, and Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru's frequent criticism of U.S.
foreign
policy tried the patience of Cold War strategists. Even in the area of
economic
policy, the two nations differed on a wide variety of developmental issues. Thus, argues Merrill, the Indian case offers a keen vantage point from which to explore modern American
foreign
policy and the complexities of the
foreign
aid process. Bread and the Ballot is one of the first studies of U.S. attitudes toward Third World development in the decades following World War II to be based largely on recently declassified government documents. Merrill's study draws on materials from the Harry S. Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and John F. Kennedy presidential libraries, U.S. State Department records, and the papers of Chester Bowles, who served as ambassador to
India
under both Truman and Kennedy. In addition, Merrill's extensive research in Britain and Indian public records gives this work a multinational perspective. Originally published in 1990.
