The Historical Dictionary of Inter-American Organizations covers
the changing world of inter-American and international
organizations that have played an important role in bilateral and
multilateral efforts to solve a wide range of problems that have
confronted the nations of the Western Hemisphere. The Latin
American region is clearly more integrated regionally and
internationally than in previous decades and is better prepared to
confront a broad range of problems-trade, development, illicit
drugs, terrorism and guerrilla activity, health, environment,
democratization, trade, human rights, intervention, electoral
assistance, peacekeeping and conflict resolutions, migration,
border conflicts, corruption, and energy independence-that
governments and non-governmental organizations face in the 21st
century. The role of the United States in Latin America has clearly
faded since the end of the Cold War and the second edition of this
book fills a large void in explaining the complexities of
inter-American organizations and their activities since the first
edition was completed in the late 1990s. This updated second
edition of Historical Dictionary of Inter-American Organizations
covers the history of through a chronology, an introductory essay,
appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section
has over 400 hundred cross-referenced entries on important
personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and
culture. This book is an excellent access point for students,
researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Inter-American
Organizations.
