This analysis examines the link between 'indirect rivalry factors' – situations in which states are neighbors of direct US rivals, and/or states that share rivalries in common with the US – and allocations of foreign aid to shed light on the impact of strategic calculations on a key area of foreign policy behavior. Blending literatures on rivalry/conflict and foreign aid, the study is situated in the relevant prior work and a theory is developed that links indirect rivalry factors with allocations of foreign aid. It is argued that indirect rivalry factors are likely to affect a state's foreign assistance as states in a rivalry strategically allocate aid to create friends and isolate their targeted rivals. In particular, it is argued that donors direct greater amounts of aid to (i) other states involved in a rivalry with the donor's rivals (rivalries in common, or 'rivals of my rival' effects) and (ii) states within the geographic region in which the donor's existing rivals are situated (neighborhood effects, or 'neighbors of rivals'). Hypotheses on the effects of these indirect rivalry factors on aid allocations are developed and then tested empirically against US foreign aid allocations from 1962 to 2000. The results lend support to the authors' theory of indirect rivalry factors and their impact on aid allocation.

L'approche traditionnelle sur le rôle du Sénat américain a tendance à négliger son rôle dans la politique étrangère des États-Unis en dépit de ses pouvoirs constitutionnels dans ce domaine. Parfois, cette approche conventionnelle, qui fait du Sénat un corps législatif déférent, s'applique ; mais pas dans d'autres cas. Dans le contexte contemporain, la participation du Sénat dans la politique étrangère américaine oscille entre un statut de spectateur et de meneur. Cela exige un cadre d'analyse plus nuancé et complexe afin d'appréhender les différents modes de fonctionnement de l'institution. Cet article établit une approche alternative pour expliquer l'activité, le rôle et l'influence du Sénat sur la politique étrangère américaine contemporaine. Une fois clarifiés la nature et le contexte du Sénat ainsi que les forces et facteurs historiques majeurs déterminant ses activités et ses interactions avec le pouvoir exécutif, l'activité contemporaine du Sénat en politique étrangère devient plus nette : c'est un mélange de consentement, de concurrence et de confrontation.
