This study analyses the objectives behind Soviet economic aid to non-communist Third World countries from 1955 through 1989. Policy implications of competing strategic and interactionist perspectives on Soviet-Third World relations are examined with respect to three objectives: politics, trade and development and tested against the record of Soviet aid allocations. The results reveal important similarities between the foreign aid objectives of the Soviet Union and the United States and generalise findings from previous studies of Western aid programs.
