Because the governing framework in many Latin American countries is
weak or unstable, the United States has often resorted to
formulating and implementing policy based on its ability to deal
with a wide array of national leaders, from military dictators to
civilian politicians to Marxist revolutionaries. Leaders and
leadership style are therefore important factors in U.S. perception
of the region and in the development of policies that affect Latin
American countries. In this book Michael Kryzanek examines the ways
in which the critical interaction between individual leaders and
the U.S. policy community affects the substance and direction of
hemispheric relations. Throughout, the author uses case studies to
illustrate how individual heads of state respond to the issues of
drugs, debt, trade, and regional security. Such leaders as Salinas
of Mexico, Gaviria of Colombia, Chamorro of Nicaragua, Endara of
Panama, Cristiani of El Salvador, and Menem of Argentina are
examined at close range to analyze their mode of operation and to
assess their ability to attain national objectives in a region in
which U.S. influence is substantial.
