Latin America's International Relations and Their Domestic Consequences ― War and Peace, Dependency and Autonomy, Integration and Disintegration

Of all the world's regions in the 20th century, Latin America has been freest from conventional interstate war. Thus scholars have paid more attention to international economics, and Volume 6 of the seven-volume Garland series includes pioneering research on international dependency, as well as on bargaining between governments and multinational firms, on the prospects for regional integration, and on the extensive debt crisis of the 1980s. The role of the US and its international interventions also receives scrutiny. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
