Relations between the United States and the countries of Latin America have been characterized by misunderstandings based on language and culture, a lack of sustained commitment on the part of the United States, and, in some cases, incompetent diplomats. During the era when many of the Latin Americal countries discarded the yoke of coloniala status, the young United States atempted to define itself culturally, economically, constitutionally, geographically and diplomatically. As Latin America emerged from the crucible of revolution and international power politics, it was affected by the United States and its desired position of leadership in the Western Hemisphere. In order to make sense of these relationships, this volume concentrates on Central America, Peru, Colombia, Argentina, Brazil, Chile snd Mexico. Describing the particular paths taken by each in the formation of r elations with the United States, Shurbutt and his colleagues focus on the American diplomatic community and its effectiveness in tense political situations.

The third edition of this respected text provides an analytically integrated survey of Latin Americas role in international politics. Organized around the idea of Latin America as a separate subsystem within the global international system, the book examines the complex political, military, economic, and social structures and processes of both state power and interdependence as well as analyzing the foreign policies of the Latin American states themselves and those of the United States and other countries toward Latin America. The text has been thoroughly updated to reflect postCold War developments that have had a dramatic impact on virtually every aspect of Latin Americas international relationsin particular, issues of trade and investment, democracy and human rights, immigrants and refugees, drug trafficking, and the physical environment. The third edition of this respected text has been thoroughly updated to reflect postCold War developments that have had a dramatic impact on virtually every aspect of Latin Americas international relations. East-West conflict, which was played out especially in Central America and the Caribbean, is no longer relevant. At the same time, Latin American states have undergone political and economic transformations. Consequently, other issuessuch as trade and investment, democracy and human rights, immigrants and refugees, drug trafficking, and the physical environmenthave risen in importance.The original purpose of this text is unchanged: It continues to provide a topical, current, and analytically integrated survey of Latin Americas role in international politics. Still organized around the idea of Latin America as a separate subsystem within the global international system, the discussions give special emphasis to further regional subsystems (especially Mexico, the Circum-Caribbean, and South America beyond the Caribbean). Within this framework, Atkins examines the complex political, military, economic, and social structures and processes of both state power and interdependence. Analyzing the foreign policies of the Latin American states themselves as well as those of the United States and other countries toward Latin America, Atkins looks closely at the nature and role of nonnation-state actors in the region, including multinational corporations, international labor, transnational political parties, the Holy See, and guerrilla organizations. He gives particular attention to Latin American participation in international institutions at all levels.
