'The contributors probe the substance of U.S. policy in Latin America, seeking to look beyond headlines, shifting economics, and changing decisions' - \"Booklist\". 'Most of the contributors to this collection ...developed their interest in Latin America while it remained neglected by most academics. The volume profits from the breadth and depth of their expertise and from the focus on Latin America as a whole, not simply Central America and the Caribbean' - \"Choice\".In 1988 the University of Nebraska Press published \"United States Policy in Latin America: A Quarter Century of Crisis and Challenge, 1961-1986\", edited by John D. Martz. This completely new work retains the best features of that popular earlier volume. Thirteen experts survey U.S. policy for the past decade on topics of relevance to Latin America (such as trade, drugs, immigration, and armed insurrection). The development of a new, post-Cold War U.S. policy can also be observed. The broad focus on the events and people of the 1980s and 1990s addresses those issues likely to remain pertinent well into the twenty-first century. The Reagan record - the man, the administration, the internal political wars, and the lack of coordination - is thoroughly explicated.The Bush administration, including the Panamanian intervention, is also analyzed. Bilateral relations are illuminated in the essays concerning Cuba, Mexico, and Brazil. Throughout, the writers look to the future to warn us not to dismiss the importance of these countries. John D. Martz is a distinguished Professor of Political Science at The Pennsylvania State University. His works include \"Accion Democratica: Evolution of a Modern Political Party in Venezuela\"; \"Politics and Petroleum in Ecuador\"; and, with David Meyers, \"Venezuela: The Democratic Experience\".","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50406055149841,"sku":"CIN0803281897VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52819809042705,"sku":"CIN0803281897G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0803281897.jpg?v=1750882739"},{"product_id":"latin-america-the-united-states-and-the-interamerican-system-book-john-d-martz-9780367172053","title":"Latin America, The United States, And The Interamerican System","description":"This book focuses on the dynamics of the contemporary system of inter-American relations, with emphasis on changes in the hemispheric political economy, the control exercised by the United States over the behavior of Latin American governments, and the issue of human rights.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51224847057169,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51224849219857,"sku":"NIN9780367172053","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52531205308689,"sku":"NLS9780367172053","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0367172054.jpg?v=1750941901"},{"product_id":"united-states-policy-in-latin-america-book-john-d-martz-9780803281684","title":"United States Policy in Latin America","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51332884267281,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51332886790417,"sku":"CIN0803281684G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0803281684.jpg?v=1750746217"},{"product_id":"latin-american-political-thought-and-ideology-book-john-d-martz-9780807896945","title":"Latin American Political Thought and Ideology","description":"In this well-balanced review of major expositions of political thought and ideology in Latin America, attention is focused on the independence period--the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

In 1958 Colombia initiated an extraordinary political experiment in controlled democracy: the two traditional parties, Liberal and Conservative, agreed on absolute parity of representation from national to local level.
