Hemispheric Alliances - Liberal Democrats and Cold War Latin America (Hardcover)

Hemispheric foreign policy has waxed and waned since the Mexican
War, and the Cold War presented both extraordinary promises and
dangerous threats to U.S.-Latin American cooperation. In
Hemispheric Alliances, Andrew J. Kirkendall examines the strengths
and weaknesses of new models for U.S.-Latin American relations
created by liberal Democrats who came to the fore during the
Kennedy Administration and retained significant influence until the
Reagan era. Rather than exerting ironfisted power in Latin America,
liberal Democrats urged Washington to be a moral rather than a
militaristic leader in hemispheric affairs. Decolonization,
President Eisenhower's missteps in Latin America, and the Cuban
Revolution all played key roles in the Kennedy administration's
Alliance for Progress, which liberal Democrats hailed as a new
cornerstone for U.S.-Latin American foreign policy. During the
Vietnam War era, liberal Democrats began to incorporate human
rights more centrally into their agendas, using Latin America as
the primary arena for these policies. During the long period of
military dictatorship in much of Latin America and the Caribbean,
liberal Democrats would see their policies dissolved by the Nixon,
Reagan, and Bush administrations who favored militant containment
of both communism and absolutism.
