Abstract
Over the last few
decades, the United States has largely provided foreign aid based on political
interests instead of humanitarian needs. Conditions for providing aid include
enforcing foreign recipients to use the aid on American products and
prioritizing aid to countries with a larger presence in popular media
platforms. Thus, foreign assistance is
not being directed to countries that need it the most, which can significantly
affect political instability in the foreign country as well as exacerbate any
existing refugee crisis. On a more macro-scale, the United States’ failure to
provide aid to the neediest also ultimately harms its sphere of influence,
especially when undemocratic foreign countries end up addressing the
humanitarian gap that the United States could have fulfilled. This paper aims
to elucidate the global scale of this problem and propose some strategies to
address this issue from a financial and political point of view.
