Conditions set by the United States as part of its Economic Support Fund balance-of-payments assistance to Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, and Liberia are discussed. Explored are the factors affecting compliance with conditions and whether the recipient countries complied with U.S. conditions during the period 1982-85; and whether such compliance can achieve U.S. goals for the countries.
