US Strategic Interests in Latin America and the Impact of the NATO Short War Strategy.

Abstract

This paper considers the movement of Latin American nations away from the traditional US-Latin American political alignment and toward identification with third world positions, and the implications of this trend for US security interests. The strategic importance of each Latin American area is conditioned by the strategic NATO decision whether to prepare for a war in Europe of long or short duration, since Western Europe will remain vital to US security for the foreseeable future.
