Addicted to Failure: U.S. Security Policy in Latin Americaand the Andean Region

Authors

Abstract

It does not take exceptional analytical talent to recognize that U.S. policies in the Andean region of South America face severe challenges, especially those dealing with the war on drugs. Neither does it take an exceptional historian to recognize that the United States has all too often paid insufficient attention to its regional neighbors and partners. Finally, it takes no exceptional mastery of international relations to recognize that South America is becoming in- creasingly important to the safety, well- being, and future prosperity of the United States. For all these reasons, a clear explanation of U.S. policies in the region and evaluation of those policies’ track records and potential future con- sequences are especially welcome.
