Arguing for a new and sober look at the nature of U.S.-Latin
American relations, Dr. Hayes addresses the question: Does the
United States have compelling national interests in maintaining
close relations with Latin American countries? Her conclusion is
yes, but for reasons different from those offered in the
traditional literature or espoused by many policy analysts. She
maintains that U.S. interests in relations with Latin America are
primarily political, secondarily economic--though economic ties are
the basis of the relationship--and only marginally military. Proper
emphasis on these long-term interests may be critical to U.S.
national security in a global, as well as regional, context. Dr.
Hayes points out that the Latin American countries--occupying a
unique position among developing nations today because of their
comparatively successful experiences in achieving economic growth
and development--represent an increasingly important political
influence in both the developed and developing worlds. Moreover,
she argues, it is in the U.S. interest to give economic aid to the
less-developed countries in the hemisphere, particularly in the
Caribbean Basin: U.S. security is better preserved and enhanced by
encouraging political and economic stability in the region than by
promoting military alliances that Latin Americans may not really
want. Supporting the need for a revised rationale for U.S.-Latin
American relations, Dr. Hayes focuses in detail on the regions and
nations of special interest to the United States today: the
Caribbean Basin, Mexico (in a chapter by Professor Bruce M.
Bagley), Brazil, and the Southern Cone.
