Abstract:

 

The purpose of this paper is to narrate the aid bargaining process   between the United States and Turkey during the 1946-1958 period. In this   period Turkey received a substantial economic assistance from the United   States. Hovvever, the U.S. aid did not come without strings. The U.S. as a   donor country played a signifıcant role in the shaping of Turkish economic   strategy and policies. During the second half of 1940s and the early 1950s,   development strategy and policy issues had stood in the centre of the aid   bargaining between the United States and Turkey and the Turkish   government had no trouble accepting the conditions of the aid program.   During the second half of the 1950s, discussions between the U.S. and   Turkey moved essentially to macroeconomic policy issues. American   authorities refused the program loan requests of the Menderes government   and requested a reform in Turkish macroeconomic policies. This caused   friction and tension in the diplomacy of aid process.
