Product Description
The end of the Cold War removed hemispheric security from the top of the agenda of US-Latin American relations. Democracy, trade and investment, drugs and migration rose in importance. Pressures to eliminate the anachronistic US embargo on Cuba increased. The new agenda also includes Latin America's growing ties to the countries of the European Union and other regions. The book contains 15 essays by US, Latin American and European scholars on each of these issues, framed by overviews of the changing historical context from the 19th century to the end of the Cold War. Authors include John Coatsworth, Jorge Dominguez and Marcelo Suarez-Orozco.

Editorial Reviews
Review
In some of the best essays, [the book's contributors] provide detailed analyses of the ways in which the counter-narcotics drive of the US generated resentment and undermines nascent democratic institutions in Mexico, Colombia and Bolivia. Elizabeth Joyce's superbly nuanced account of the US drug policy helps us to understand the inconsistencies and apparent irrationality of the annual 'certification' process, in which the US unilaterally grades countries on their cooperation with the drug war and imposes sanctions on those who fail the test. -- George Vickers "Times Literary Supplement"
