University Microfilms International 300 N INFORMATION TO USERS Tliis was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.Tlie sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy. Requests can be made to our Dissertations Customer Services Department. 5. Some pages in any document may have indistinct print. In all cases we have filmed the best available copy.

TOWNSEND Norman, Oklahoma 19 80 RETRIEVING LOST IDEALS: UNITED STATES FOREIGN POLICY TOWARD BRAZIL 1960-19 68 APPROVED BY , I A „ r \ c\ DISSERTATION COMMITTEE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Alliance for Progress is a glaring example of the failure of American foreign policy during the 19 50's. This has made it the subject for numerous works. However, most of these works are based on the rational actor approach. Unfortunately, bureaucratic analyses of United States foreign policy in the 1960's are very rare and a bureau­ cratic politics analysis of United States foreign policy to­ ward Brazil during that era appears to be nonexistent. This dissertation is offered as a contribution to fill that gap. I wish to acknowledge individuals who have cooperated in this endeavor, I owe an intellectual debt to Dr. Rufus G. Hall, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and Profes­ sor of Political Science at the University of Oklahoma. Dr. Hall, my mentor, advisor, and director of my dissertation, has skillfully presided over every stage of the development of my dissertation. Without his advice and encouragement, this dissertation would have never been completed. I am also indebted to the members of my dissertation committee who read the dissertation and commented on it. The members of my committee are; Dr. Hugh G. MacNiven, Pro­ fessor of Political Science and Chairman of the Department; Dr. Donald Secrest, Professor of Political Science; and Dr. Paul A. Tharp, Professor of Political Science, all from the University of Oklahoma. Dr. Richard D. Baker, Professor of Political Science, also served on the committee during the initial stages. I am indeed grateful to Dr. Keith Larry Storrs, Latin American Analyst in the Foreign Affairs Office, Congressional Research Services of the Library of Congress and to Dr. Riordan Roett, Professor of Latin American Politics at the School of Advanced International Studies of Johns Hopkins University. They allowed me extensive interviews and so will­ ingly shared their perspectives and analyses of the Brazilian operative situation. Dr. Joseph Page, Professor at the Georgetown University Law Center, and Dr. Brady Tyson, Pro­ fessor of Latin American Politics at American University and American diplomat, were also very cooperative in providing the missing links. Mr. Jerome I. Levinson, General Counsel for the Inter- American Development Bank, possessed information that was cru­ cial for the development of the dissertation. I appreciate his willingness to share that information. Mr. Niles Bond, Charge D ' Affaires of tlie American Embassy in Brazil in 1961, Mr. Donor Lion, Director of the AID Mission at Recife during the 19 60's, Mr. Robert Ballantyne, Director of Brazilian Af­ fairs of AID, and Mr. Lewis Duiguid of the Washington Post also supplied me with useful information. Mr. Archie Lang, Administrative Officer for the American Embassy during the 1960's. Dr. H. Jon Rosenbaum, former Profes­ sor at the Getulio Vargas Institute in Rio de Janeiro who is 1 1 now Special Assistant to Senator Jacob Javitz, also contributed useful information. Along with Virginia Moye, former Reports Officer in Capital Development of the Latin American Bureau of AID, they guided me toward extremely valuable primary sour­ ces. Mr. Frank Haendler, former Political Officer at the American Embassy in Brazil, and Dr. Robert Miller, Foreign Service Officer in Brazil, verified the information that I was able to obtain. Officials at many other Washington agencies, research institutions, and libraries, also supplied leads to significant data. These officials include: Mr. Ramon Gonzalez of the His­ panic Law Division of the Library of Congress; Mr. Everett Lar­ son, Reference Librarian, Latin American, Portuguese, and Spanish Division of the Library of Congress; Mr. James Bednar, Reference Librarian, Office of Public Affairs of the Agency for International Development - State Department; Ms. J. M. Paskar of the Agency for International Development Reference Center; Ms. Jo Marie Griesgraber, Deputy Director of the Wash­ ington Office on Latin America and Brazilian Desk Officer; Mr. Jorge Thevenet, Coordinator of Public Information at the Organization of American States; Ms. Ellen Schaffer, Reference Librarian at the Organization of American States; and Ms. Ella Forbes, Reference Librarian, Langston Hughes Memorial Library of Lincoln University.

This trend pre­ sented a paradox which heightened during the post World War II era and climaxed in the American foreign policy of the I960's.^ This trend of duplicity has eroded the credibility of American diplomacy, has caused other nations to view American foreign policy with suspicion, and has cast doubts on the validity of American policy proclamations.

  • STATE-OWNED ENTERPRISES in BRAZIL: HISTORY and LESSONS by Aldo Musacchio and Sergio G
    Workshop on State-Owned Enterprises in the Development Process Paris, 4 April 2014 OECD Conference Centre, Room 4 STATE-OWNED ENTERPRISES IN BRAZIL: HISTORY AND LESSONS by Aldo Musacchio and Sergio G. Lazzarini This paper serves as background material for the Workshop on SOEs in the Development Process taking place in Paris on 4 April 2014. It was prepared by Aldo Musacchio and Sergio G. Lazzarini working as consultants for the OECD Secretariat. The opinions and views expressed and arguments employed herein are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect or represent the official views of the OECD or of the governments of its member countries. STATE-OWNED ENTERPRISES IN BRAZIL: HISTORY AND LESSONS Aldo Musacchio Harvard Business School and NBER Sergio G. Lazzarini Insper Prepared for The Working Party on State-Ownership and Privatisation Practices OECD (Revised version, February 28, 2014) INTRODUCTION Despite decades of liberalization and privatization in many countries, state ownership and state-led business activity remains widespread (Christiansen, 2011). Governments still often use state-owned enterprises (SOEs) to promote local development and invest in sectors in which private investment is scant. Many SOEs endured over the years and turned into large corporations partnering with market investors and competing on a global scale against private multinationals. The forms of ownership and control governments use in the set of surviving SOEs is, however, poorly understood. Beyond the traditional wholly-owned SOEs, governments also intervene to support specific industries by propping up privately held enterprises (i.e., “national champions”). These private firms receive government support in the form of minority equity investments, direct subsidized loans from development banks, and equity and debt purchases by sovereign wealth funds.

  • The Kennedy Administration's Alliance for Progress and the Burdens Of
    The Kennedy Administration’s Alliance for Progress and the Burdens of the Marshall Plan Christopher Hickman Latin America is irrevocably committed to the quest for modernization.1 The Marshall Plan was, and the Alliance is, a joint enterprise undertaken by a group of nations with a common cultural heritage, a common opposition to communism and a strong community of interest in the specific goals of the program.2 History is more a storehouse of caveats than of patented remedies for the ills of mankind.3 The United States and its Marshall Plan (1948–1952), or European Recovery Program (ERP), helped create sturdy Cold War partners through the economic rebuilding of Europe. The Marshall Plan, even as mere symbol and sign of U.S. commitment, had a crucial role in re-vitalizing war-torn Europe and in capturing the allegiance of prospective allies. Instituting and carrying out the European recovery mea- sures involved, as Dean Acheson put it, “ac- tion in truly heroic mold.”4 The Marshall Plan quickly became, in every way, a paradigmatic “counter-force” George Kennan had requested in his influential July 1947 Foreign Affairs ar- President John F. Kennedy announces the ticle. Few historians would disagree with the Alliance for Progress on March 13, 1961. Christopher Hickman is a visiting assistant professor of history at the University of North Florida. I presented an earlier version of this paper at the 2008 Policy History Conference in St. Louis, Missouri. I appreciate the feedback of panel chair and panel commentator Robert McMahon of The Ohio State University. I also benefited from the kind financial assistance of the John F.

  • Analyzing the Marshall Plan
    III Analyzing the Marshall Plan n an atmosphere of great urgency the Economic Cooperation Admin- istration was designed and organized in 1948 to achieve explicit I economic objectives, as well as implicit psychological and politi- cal aims. In order to evaluate the extent to which the ECA succeeded or failed in accomplishing its goals, the ambitiousness of its architects and engineers must first be appreciated. Otherwise, too narrow a basis for pass- ing historical judgment results. An appropriately comprehensive basis for determining the Marshall Plan’s impact needs to be established next. What criteria, for instance, define success and failure? Is the Plan’s meaning in the short term or long run? Or in an economic, psychological, or political sense? If principally political, what stakes matter most? Are they the conflict between communism and anticommunism? Or perhaps a resolution of the postwar “German Problem” that required Germany’s reconciliation with its neighbors and France’s abandonment of its punitive German policy? Should the Plan also be judged in terms of whether it created European goodwill for America? Such issues have to be clarified prior to parsing evidence. This monograph is not intended to plunge into the deep end of the his- torical disagreements that have been erected on such analytical founda- tions. Suffice it to say that an era of generally sweeping superlatives, when an American writer once gushed about “the boldest, most successful, and certainly most expensive foreign policy initiative ever attempted in peace- time,” is essentially over. Among contemporary commentators, the German Professor of Public Finance who wrote in 2004 of the Marshall Plan as “amazingly successful” is probably in the minority.1 The last twenty years of scholarship on the Marshall Plan have expand- ed and refined the questions being asked of source material.

  • 1 Varieties of Nationalism
    Varieties of Nationalism: A Half Century of Brazilian-American Relations by Lincoln Gordon, Guest Scholar, Brookings Institution (paper prepared for Brazilian Embassy/Woodrow Wilson Center conference, June 4, 2003) * * * * * In one form or another, nationalism has been the keynote of Brazilian attitudes toward the United States since the first Vargas presidency, 1930-45. In the Old Republic (1889-1930), the classic policy lines laid down by the Baron of Rio Branco, and warmly supported in Washington, amounted to a brotherly partnership of the Hemisphere’s two giants.1 The United States was pro- gressively displacing Great Britain as the main purchaser of coffee, Brazil’s chief export com- modity, and the main supplier of manufactured goods. Brazilian and American diplomats shared a somewhat supercilious view of Spanish America, apart from Argentina and Chile, as a melange of unstable ministates subject to frequent coups d’etat and rule by pompous caudillos. Both nations were wary of European imperial designs on Latin America. Brazilians were not dismayed by the expulsion of Spain from Cuba. The Panama Canal was a boon to Brazil, greatly shortening the sea routes to the West Coast of North America. In World War I, Brazil, like the United States, maintained neutrality until 1917 and then declared war against Germany after several merchant ships were sunk by German submarines. In the Paris peace negotiations, the United States supported Brazil’s role as spokesman for all of Latin America in the newly launched League of Nations. The Brazil of the 1920s seemed to show two faces to the world. The domestic face was a society and economy dominated by rural barons (even though no longer with titles of nobility): the coffee planters and cattle raisers of São Paulo and Minas Gerais.
