In recent years the powerful and long-standing influence of the
United States in the Caribbean and Central America has been
challenged directly by Cuba, Mexico, and Venezuela and--many
think--indirectly by the USSR. This struggle for dominance, which
has altered and still is significantly changing the power
configuration in the Caribbean Basin, is examined in detail in
Colossus Challenged. The book contains seven chapters by prominent
area specialists. Five of the chapters focus on the Caribbean
policies of the major contenders for power, analyzing the evolution
of each country's policies, the main variables affecting its
definition of interests and its decision making, and its prospects
for exerting regional influence in the foreseeable future. The
other two chapters look at the rivalry for Caribbean influence from
the perspectives of eastern Caribbean and Central American
governments.
