"linkage-Politik" der USA. Zum Teil macht es ein "linkage" zwischen verschiedenen Instrumenten oder Gegenständen der Außenpolitik erst nötig, zum Teil ergeben sich daraus neue Möglichkeiten des "linkage". Die Schuldenkrise Polens 1981-82, Lateinamerikas 1982-83 und die IWF-Quotenerhöhung 1983 sind Beispiele. "Linkage"-Strategien sind hier umso erfolgreicher, je mehr das Interesse der USA und anderer Staaten an der Vermeidung von Zahlungsunfähigkeit durch weitere gemeinsame Interessen ergänzt wird und je besser die Regierung ihre Machtmittel durch die Bindung von Bankentscheidungen an außenpolitische Kriterien ergänzen kann.

The global debt problem influences the foreign-policy capabilities of the United States through its impact on the government's "linkage strategies" in foreign affairs. In some circumstances policy makers are forced to make connections between different policy instruments or issues that might not otherwise have been felt necessary; in others, opportunities for connections are created that might not otherwise have been felt possible. The Polish debt crisis of 1981–82, the Latin American debt crisis of 1982–83, and the IMF quota increase in 1983 are suggestive in this regard. Linkage strategies bred by the debt issue are more apt to be successful when the interest shared by the United States with other countries in avoiding default is reinforced by other shared economic or political interests. They will also be more successful to the extent that the government can supplement its own power resources by relating bank decisions to foreign-policy considerations. Power in such situations, however, is a wasting asset, even when employed indirectly through the intermediation of the IMF.
