The study of Latin American and Caribbean international relations
has a long evolution both within the development of international
relations as a general academic undertaking and in terms of the
particular characteristics that distinguish the approaches taken by
scholars in the field. This handbook provides a thorough
multidisciplinary reference guide to the literature on the various
elements of the international relations of Latin America and the
Caribbean. Citing over 1600 sources that date from the nineteenth
century to the present, with emphasis on recent decades, the
volume's analytic essays trace the evolution of research in terms
of concepts, issues, and themes. The Handbook is a companion volume
to Atkins' Latin America and the Caribbean in the International
System, Fourth Edition, but also serves as an invaluable
stand-alone reference volume for students, scholars, researchers,
journalists, and practitioners, both official and private.

This chronicle and interpretation of recent military and political
events in the Dominican Republic analyzes the political behavior of
the countryfs armed forces and scrutinizes policies put in action
since the nation's civil war and the subsequent U.S. intervention
of 1965. Dr. Atkins covers the course of Joaquin Balaguer's lengthy
presidency, the remarkable events surrounding the 1978 election of
President Antonio Guzman, and the first months of Guzman's
administration, with particular attention being given to the role
of the armed forces in political processes. In describing the
Dominican experience with arms and politics, Dr. Atkins notes that
it is a case of noninstitutionalized civil-military relations
revolving around the president, his key associates, and the
officers of the military.

The fourth edition of this widely praised text has been thoroughly
revised to reflect the evolving characteristics of the current
international system that have had a dramatic effect on every
aspect of international relations of Latin America and the
Caribbean. The original purpose of this book is unchanged: It
continues to provide a topically current and analytically
integrated survey of the region's role in the world. Still
organized around the idea of Latin America and the Caribbean as a
separate subsystem within the global international system, the
discussion gives special emphasis to complex interstate and
transnational structures and processes. Within this framework,
Atkins analyzes the foreign policies of the Latin American states
themselves and those of the United States and other countries
toward Latin America and the Caribbean. He also looks closely at
the nature and role of transnational actors in the region, such as
the multinational corporations, the Holy See, Protestant Churches,
transnational political parties, international labor,
nongovernmental organizations, and others. He gives special
attention to Latin American participation in international
institutions at all levels.
More than a decade has passed since the publication of the first
edition of Latin America in the International Political System.
Since then, significant events have occurred in the region, and the
nature of Latin America's international relations has changed
considerably. Although the purpose of this text is unchanged-that

This study of the political, economic, and sociocultural
relationship between the Dominican Republic and the United States
follows its evolution from the middle of the nineteenth century to
the mid-1990s. It deals with the interplay of these dimensions from
each country's perspective and in both private and public
interactions. From the U.S. viewpoint, important issues include
interpretation of the rise and fall of the Dominican Republic's
strategic importance, the legacy of military intervention and
occupation, the problem of Dominican dictatorship and instability,
and vacillating U.S. efforts to "democratize" the country. From the
Dominican perspective, the essential themes involve foreign
policies adopted from a position of relative weakness, ambivalent
love-hate views toward the United States, emphasis on economic
interests and the movement of Dominicans between the two countries,
international political isolation, the adversarial relationship
with neighboring Haiti, and the legacy of dictatorship and the
uneven evolution of a Dominican-style democratic system. The
Dominican Republic and the United States is the eleventh book in
The United States and the Americas series, volumes suitable for
classroom use.

A reference guide to all the elements of the Inter-American System
from its formal beginning in 1889 to the present, as it developed
into a major, multipurpose regional inter-governmental organization
(IGO). The most notable elements in the current Inter-American
System are the Organization of American States (OAS), the
Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), and the Inter-American
Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance (Rio Treaty) Regime. Today, all 35
sovereign American states are members of the OAS. This book makes
clear reference to the system's interrelationships with other IGOs
and states outside the Western Hemisphere. Unique in its scope and
approach to the subject, this work is intended to provide the
reader with access to information on general as well as specific
subjects. It is compiled with an interdisciplinary approach, and
addressed to a variety of readers from students and scholars to
professionals and government officials. With some 250 entries,
cross-referenced and thoroughly indexed, this encyclopedia refers
to membership and observers in the various organizational elements;
policy orientations of the state members; treaties, conventions,
protocols, declarations, and resolutions concluded over the years;
concepts and doctrines underlying American regional organization;
multinational principles and policies in major categories of
activity; and cases of conflict and other situations undertaken by
the system, including places, events, issues, and individuals
notable for their contributions.
