Future U.S. National Security Strategy with Respect to Honduras and the Central American Region

Abstract

The study looks at the past and current U.S. National Security Strategy towards Central America, focusing on Honduras, the linchpin country of the U.S. policy. The basis for the National Security Strategy towards Central America, the domino theory, is discussed in detail and analyzed for its relevance to the Central American region. The present day U.S. policy is found wanting, calling for a new policy to help Honduras and the Central American region recover from their severe economic woes. Recommendations for a new U.S. National Security policy toward the Central American region, and for Honduras in particular, are suggested.
