This book examines the responses to U.S. power in the two areas of
the world where U.S. primacy was first successfully consolidated:
East Asia and Latin America. The U.S. has faced no comparably
powerful challengers to the exercise of its power in Latin America
for much of the past century. It established its primacy over much
of East Asia in the aftermath of WW II and extended its influence
in the late 1970's and after the end of the Vietnam War through its
entente with China to balance the Soviet Union. By contrast, the
U.S. has always encountered rivals and challengers in Europe, has
attempted unsuccessfully thus far to impose its primacy in the
Middle East, and has paid only intermittent attention to South Asia
and Africa.
The essays in this volume will explore three important themes 1.)
How do region-wide economic trends and arrangements sustain or
modify U.S. influence in the region? 2.) How do rising powers in
these regions (Japan, China, Brazil) reshape their policies to cope
with the U.S. and 3.) How do new (South Korea) and old (Cuba)
challengers to U.S. power shape their policies to account for the
unrivaled exercise of U.S. power.
This collection will place the United States at the hub of
relations with countries in East Asia and Latin America and examine
the new policies and new styles of engagement that are employed to
address the prolonged U.S. interest in these areas-approaches from
which the rest of the world might learn.
