AN ANALYSIS OF THE FOREIGN POLICIES OF BLACK AFRICAN STATES TOWARD INDUSTRIALIZED NATIONS IN THE MIDDLE 1960'S IS EMPLOYED IN A PARTIAL TEST OF A THEORY OF THE FOREIGN POLICIES OF SUBORDINATE STATES IN ASYMMETRICAL DYADS. FINDINGS CONFIRM THE IMPORTANCE OF STRUCTURAL ASYMMETRY AS A SCOPE CONDITION ON THE THEORY BUT OFFER LIMITED SUPPORT FOR THE USE OF ECONOMIC STRENGTH IN EXPLAINING FOREIGN POLICY.
