The Future of Inter-American Relations
Preview
Book Description
Jorge I. Dominguez has brought together experts from Latin America, the Caribbean and the US to explore transnational aspects of crime, migration, trade, security, democracy, and international financial institutions in the Americas. They consider the effect of drug trafficking on government, the economy, and the rule of law, at both national and hemispheric levels. They look at the policy implications of migration and immigration trends, as well as trends in international trade. Assessing how to promote peace and democracy in the region, several essays examine regional issues and institutions. Others analyze the role of international financial institutions such as the IMF and the World Bank in promoting economic reforms. Commissioned by the Inter-American Dialogue, this collection contributes to the debate on the future direction of inter-American relations.

Reviews
"This excellent collection of essays argues that US policy toward Latin America has come a long way since President Woodrow Wilson's pledge "to teach the South Americans to elect good men."... Each chapter is clearly written and includes much helpful information. CHOICE, September 2000, Volume 38, Number 1 In a brilliant survey of the new landscape of inter-American relations, Dominguez and his collaborators take us to the cutting edge of the policy frontier. No better analysis exists of the full gamut of post-Cold War issues in the hemisphere." -- Robert A. Pastor, Professor, Emory University
