Envisioned before 1900 as a diplomatic and political model for
cooperation among nations in the Americas, Pan Americanism has come
to represent a varied set of economic, cultural, and political
processes at the core of both inter-American cooperation and
conflict. This collection of new essays takes Pan Americanism
beyond a mere discussion of inter-American cooperation and a Cold
War focus on defense and security. While the Pan American Union
and, later, the Organization of American States have often been at
the center of Pan American politics and diplomacy, Sheinin offers
an overview of the ranging facets of Pan Americanism both inside
and outside of these institutions. Themes range from a discussion
of U.S. influence in the region and other diplomatic initiatives to
new research in women's history and environmentalism. A broad range
of scholars consider the impact of the abolition of slavery and the
role of nation building in the hemisphere, as well as the
ideological foundations of Pan Americanism in the United States.
The concept is examined as a propaganda device, but also, through
the OAS, as a means for smaller countries in the Americas to
exercise a degree of diplomatic influence. Other topics include the
First Conference of American States and North American plans for an
economic union, Pan American feminism, the problem of wildlife
preservation, and the theory and practice of inter-American
literature. Finally, the book details crucial success stories of
the late 20th century: the American Convention on Human Rights, the
Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, and the Inter-American
Court of Human Rights.
