| Summary: | The article will present the role of the humanitarian aid in the process of
creating the US foreign policy. The study will examine two interesting case
studies: the Polish Medical Aid Project and the creation of the American
Research Hospital for Children in Poland. The work will show the most
important aspects of the planning and implementation of those initiatives. This
approach will be aimed at answering the title question and will try to define the
extent to which the humanitarian aid offered to Poland within a certain period
was a political calculation. The final analysis of the congressional hearings
conducted in 1962 presents and confirms the complexity of the process of
helping the “Captive Nations” in Central Eastern Europe. |
