Policy Series 2021-48: Fences Make Bad Hombres: Trump in Latin America

July 27, 2021July 22, 2021 By Christy Thornton

It starts, of course, with the wall.  From its earliest moments, the campaign of Donald Trump for the presidency of the United States was predicated on hardening the border between the United States and Mexico, and by extension, between the United States and Latin America—the border where, as Gloria Anzaldúa wrote more than three decades…

Roundtable 10-5 on Latin America Confronts the United States. Asymmetry and Influence

January 8, 2018March 2, 2018 By Dustin Walcher, Richard E. Feinberg, Gian Luca Gardini, Laura Macdonald, Juan Pablo Scarfi, Tom Long

To what extent is it possible for less powerful states to influence the behavior of great powers? Do weaker states possess sufficient agency to advance their own objectives? These fundamental questions lie at the heart of Tom Long’s Latin America Confronts the United States. Through an examination of four case studies he finds that, indeed,…

Policy Series: Trump and Latin America: Asymmetry and the Problem of Influence

May 17, 2017June 30, 2018 By Tom Long, Max Paul Friedman

Despite its proximity and importance, Latin America usually does not receive a lot of attention in U.S. elections. After Donald Trump’s shocking and ultimately successful campaign for the presidency, the region may miss being out of the limelight. Somewhat atypically, many of Trump’s campaign promises related to Latin America. Mexico was, and remains, Trump’s villain…

Authors’ Response to Article Review 71 on “Soft Balancing in the Americas: Latin American Opposition to U.S. Intervention, 1898-1936.”

April 17, 2017April 17, 2017 By Max Paul Friedman, Tom Long

We thank Christopher Darnton for his thoughtful and useful critique, and we are in agreement with many of his points. However, Darnton perhaps overstates the goals of our article. Notably, Darnton faults the article for failing to test a “causal explanation of Latin American foreign policy against alternatives.” Our article does not claim to test…

Article Review 71 on “Soft Balancing in the Americas: Latin American Opposition to U.S. Intervention, 1898-1936.”

March 23, 2017April 17, 2017 By H-Diplo

Max Paul Friedman and Tom Long argue that Latin American foreign policies, particularly those of Argentina, Colombia, and Mexico, constitute a case of ‘soft balancing’ against the United States in the early decades of the twentieth century. Rather than engaging in issue-specific contestation or bilateral negotiations with Washington, Latin American leaders and diplomats focused on…

Policy Series: U.S.-Latin American Relations in the Age of Donald Trump

February 16, 2017November 20, 2019 By Andrew J. Kirkendall

The election of Donald Trump seems to many to mark the death of liberal internationalism.  Given the President-elect’s failure to give clear guidelines regarding what he intends to do in so many areas, however, we may be surprised by the things he chooses to do because he has yet to devote much time and attention…

Roundtable 8-8 on Rivalry and Alliance Politics in Cold War Latin America

January 25, 2016February 2, 2017 By Dustin Walcher, Thomas C. Field Jr., Charles Jones, Michael E. Neagle, Michael E. Neagle

Transitions from rivalry to alliance within bilateral relationships have received considerable attention from historians of U.S. foreign relations.   Or, more accurately, some alliances have received considerable attention; it remains unusual for works on inter-American relations to be cast principally as examinations of alliance politics. There are at least two interrelated reasons.   First, the vast…

Roundtable 3-6 on “The CIA and U.S. Foreign Relations Since 1947: Reforms, Reflections and Reappraisals”

December 14, 2011November 20, 2019 By H-Diplo

The special issue of Intelligence and National Security, Volume 26, April-June 2011 continues the process of bringing intelligence in from the cold.  It is to be hoped that the reviews here contribute to the parallel process of familiarizing diplomatic historians with what is known about intelligence and bringing in two fields closer together.  We are…
