Latin American and Caribbean Foreign Policy

This comprehensive text analyzes the foreign policies of eighteen countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. First assessing the state of the discipline the introduction develops a common framework that compares the relevant explanatory weight of foreign policy determinants at the individual state and international level for each country. Case studies include the major regional powers such as Mexico Brazil and Argentina as well as less-studied players such as the Dominican Republic Ecuador and Uruguay. With its focused analytical questions and rich empirical description this book allows readers to develop sustained comparisons across the full spectrum of Latin American foreign policy.
