Latin America in the 1990's: Implications for US Security,

Abstract

In Latin America, the next two decades will see the growth of more effective governments, a greater role for the region in world affairs, increasing competition for resources, the development of more diversified economies, the diffusion of conventional military power, and the possibility of nuclear proliferation. The further breakdown of the bipolar world system will loosen traditional bilateral and multilateral relationships and render Latin America less dependent upon the United States. At the same time the emerging dependence of the United States upon external markets and sources of raw materials may urge greater cooperative economic effects and thus a broadening of the concept and organization of Inter-American security.
