Challenging the dependency theory approach to the origin of
underdevelopment in Spanish America, this book argues that internal
political and economic factors led the nations of the region to
become dependent and underdeveloped during the nineteenth century.
Dr. Friedman focuses on Peru and Argentina in the aftermath of
their wars of independence to show how underdevelopment and
dependency resulted from a crisis of the state brought about by the
loss of legitimacy of Spanish colonial rule. Class conflicts had
been effectively managed by the colonial state; its collapse, Dr.
Friedman demonstrates, created conditions of intense inter- and
intra-class conflicts, chiefly political in nature, which weak
post-independence governments found impossible to restrain. Left
with little authority, legitimacy, or control over internal
resources, the fledging Peruvian and Argentine states turned to
external sources for the capabilities with which to begin the
process of consolidating their internal power. By the last half of
the nineteenth century, both Peru and Argentina had chosen a course
that led to their integration into the international economy as
dependent nations.
Foreign Policy Toward Cuba examines the disagreement between the
foreign policy-making communities of the United States and Canada
and that of Cuba and the Caribbean region. The book contrasts the
differing Cuban foreign policy positions taken by the United States
and Canada, contrasting them in turn with Caribbean and Cuban
positions on North America. The book uses a wide range of
perspectives, paying particular attention to the way the Western
Hemisphere understands Cuba and the approaches of Cuban and
Caribbean foreign policy toward North America. Of interest to
students of Latin America, Cuba, and foreign policy and
international relations, the book provides a clear interpretation
of the complex foreign policy between nations.
