Abstract

FONSECA, Carlos da. The Bush Administration and US-Latin American relations. Relações Internacionais [online]. 2008, n.19, pp.147-158. ISSN 1645-9199.

This article offers an evaluation of the United States relationship with Latin America during Buhs’s two terms at the White House. We argue that the main trend of the Bush administration in Latin America has been a process of “hemispheric disengagement” which has led to the erosion of American influence in the region, a problem that the next President will have to address, be he a Democrat or a Republican.

Keywords : George Bush; American Foreign Policy; US-Latin American Relations; Populism.
