Foreign Policy and Regionalism in the Americas
Following a discussion of the phenomenon of regionalism in general, chapters on the countries of North America, the Caribbean, and South America address three questions fundamental to the relationship between national foreign policy and hemispheric cooperation and integration: How has each country been affected by recent changes in its external environment? How has it responded in terms of macroeconomic policies and major foreign policy orientations? And what do these new foreign policy orientations imply in terms of the country's attitudes toward regionalism, whether hemispheric or subregional?
The concluding chapter draws on the themes—the similarities and differences—emerging from the country studies to appraise the prospect for region building in the next decade.
