Since the third edition was published in 1996, there have been
significant developments in this key strategic and economic
relationship. Kryzanek builds on the text and themes of previous
editions and further examines the ties between the United States
and the nations of Latin America. These ties reveal new
opportunities, challenges, and tensions. During the second term of
President Bill Clinton and now in the Bush presidency, hemispheric
relations have been centered on issues of trade, investment, and
resource development. The impact of globalization on the region was
only beginning to be felt when the third edition of the text went
to print, but now it is clear that the rules and demands of a
globalized economy have changed the face of Latin America. Numerous
areas of public policy that are critical ingredients to the
national interests of both the United States and Latin America,
such as immigration, drug smuggling, gang violence, leftist
revolution, cultural transformations, and regional security
continue to test the relationships between the United States and
Latin American governments. Because this text has in the past
concentrated on the foreign policy process within the United States
government, the proposed new edition will not only update this
process but add discussion of new participants in the shaping and
implementation of policies toward Latin America. For example, there
will be an accent on the growing role of Hispanics within the
United States in pressuring for changes in United States policy in
a number of areas. Institutionally, there will be new discussion of
the role that the Department of Homeland Security plays in United
States-Latin American relations, particularly with respect to
border and anti-terrorism issues. Key chapters will be reformulated
in order to show how the United States makes policy toward Latin
America and how the Latin Americans respond to policy initiatives.
Presenting how policy is made toward the region is an essential
pathway toward understanding how this relationship has evolved and
why there have been both successes and failures between the United
States and the countries of Latin America.
