BOOK SUMMARY
This book analyzes the political, economic, and strategic impact of the Bush Doctrine on Latin America.
BOOK SYNOPSIS
In the wake of the events of September 11, 2001 the government of George W. Bush has articulated a new strategy for U.S. foreign policy that has come to be known as the Bush Doctrine, and is based on a more aggressive approach to perceived threats to U.S. security. This book analyzes how the application of the Bush Doctrine in Latin America has changed U.S. policy in the region. Various authors demonstrate how security issues, never absent from hemispheric relations, have again moved to the forefront.

BOOK REVIEWS
"A unique, valuable contribution to the literature on U.S. foreign policy toward Latin America and inter-American relations."
--Pedro Monreal, Senior Research Associate, Universidade Federal da Bahia, Brazil
"This important book deals with various aspects of the Bush administration's unhappy efforts to deal with myriad problems in Latin America. Examining the 'aggressive unilateralism' of the current administration's policy, the authors analyze Bush's stance of preventive war, unfounded military attacks, and the U.S.'s disregard of its traditional allies and international law in its attempts of 'military and political dominance over the world.' No wonder that U.S. policies are increasingly rejected in Latin America and that the image of the U.S., under Bush, has reached an all-time low."
--Wayne S. Smith, Senior Fellow, Center for International Policy, Washington, D.C.
