Latin American Leftist Governments and Their Effects on U.S. Interests
Abstract
Within the last decade, Latin America has experienced a resurgence of leftist governments. This rise in socialism/liberalism will have effects for the U.S. government within the region. We have already seen a cooling of relations with several nations, most notably, Venezuela. This has potential effects for military cooperation, commerce, and common strategic interests. The perceived U.S. focus on the global war on terrorism and lack of Latin American policy has changed the way Latin America views the U.S. I intend to explore the change in the political landscape of the Latin American nations, the potential impacts for the U.S., and how our policy in Latin America is perceived.
