The Department of State released today a new volume of the Foreign Relations of the United States, 1981-1988, Volume XXXVIII, International Economic Development; International Debt; Foreign Assistance. This volume is part of a subseries of volumes of the Foreign Relations series that documents the foreign policy decision making of the administration of President Ronald Reagan. This volume focuses on U.S. foreign economic policies from 1981 until 1988 toward regions the administration identified as "the developing world." It covers the formulation of U.S. foreign economic assistance and development policies, policies toward these regions in the United Nations and at international meetings, the U.S. response to international debt problems, international commodity policy, and policies toward international financial institutions. As this volume takes a global and thematic approach, foreign economic policy issues related to a specific country or region are generally not documented here, but instead are covered in regional and country-specific volumes within the subseries. This volume was compiled and edited by Laura Kolar. For further information, contact [email protected].
