This paper reviews the current global context of foreign aid,particularly the distribution of development aid among the primary national donors -- the United States, Japan, Germany, Great Britain, and France. The chapter examines the stated objectives of these programs and the link between foreign aid and very differing foreign-policy agendas. A central assumption is that foreign aid is a reflection of donors' broader objectives in world politics. By examining both the quantity and "quality"of current aid programs, we gain a better comparative grasp of the global ambitions of the world's major industrial powers. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
