Talons of the Eagle: Dynamics of U.S.-Latin American Relations - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book offers a vivid portrayal of the last two hundred years of US-Latin American relations, casting new light on issues such as economic integration, environmental protection, drug trafficking and undocumented migratin. Rather than concentrating only on US policy, as many texts do, it addresses the structural relationships of both regions. Focusing on international systems, the distribution of power, and the perception and pursuit of national interests, Smith uncovers recurrent regularities in the interaction between the US and Latin America and offers a compelling analysis of the continuity and change in their relations, as well as provocative insights into the possible future of these relations. With an entirely new introduction and thorough revisions of the last four chapters and conclusion, as well as a completely updated bibliography, this continues to be the ideal text for students in general courses on Latin American history and politics as well as course on US and inter-American foreign relations.
