ABSTRACT
The previous chapter suggested that there was no coherent domestic opposition to the capital control programs. Therefore, if interest aggregation is to be an important element in explaining the capital control policy, it must be found within the interstices of the government itself. The purpose of this chapter is to consider those groups which fall into the general category of “bureaucratic politics” as defined by Allison. 1 While this chapter does consider one group of actors (viz., Congress) not normally included under the rubric of the bureaucratic politics paradigm, the term is still quite appropriate since, for various reasons, Congress did not play a vital role in the evolution of the capital control programs from 1963 to 1968.
