Abstract

The US Marshal Plan to reconstruct the war affected Europe was introduced and implemented after WWII, presenting for the first time the concept of ¨Development Aid” in international relations. Designed to achieve reconstruction and stability creation in Europe, it could secure Soviet Union containment, one of the American strategic objectives. In other times and subject to circumstances, development assistance has been used to guarantee national interests US foreign policy has always pursued political, socio-economic and cultural Changes in developing countries in accordance with its national interests. This research is meant to find out type of Changes US has created in the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and South East Asia in the period of 2000-2020 through its development assistance scheme. Based on the school of thought dominating the US hegemonic position, structural or non-structural Changes have been promoted in developing countries. Bush and Obama administrations have tried to make structural Changes in developing countries and create socio- political order similar to American system, following Wilsonian tradition, while Trump Jacsonian- Jefersonian state has not had a priority to Change situation in the developing world. Therefore, it could be concluded that the reception of US development assistance might end causing existential Changes in the aid receiving country.
