Joseph Smith examines:*the rise of the USA as an independent power* its policy towards Latin-American movements for independence* the evolution of the Monroe Doctrine* pan-Americanism* dollar diplomacy* the challenge of communism. Highlighting Latin American responses to US policy over a significant time span, the study documents the development of a complex historical relationship in which the United States has claimed a pre-eminent role, arousing as much resentment as acquiescence from its southern neighbours. Including a timely discussion of the current issues of debt, trade and narcotics control, this unique and valuable study will be of interest to all those with an interest in US and Latin American international relations Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 193-200) and index Notes English Print version record Subject POLITICAL SCIENCE -- Government -- International.
