ISBN: 9780822333098 / Angielski / Twarda / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

But how have Chile s millions of workers, whose hard labor and long hours have made the miracle possible, fared under this program? Through empirically grounded...

In from the Cold: Latin America's New Encounter with the Cold War
ISBN: 9780822341024 / Angielski / Twarda / 456 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Over the last decade, studies of the Cold War have mushroomed globally. Unfortunately, work on Latin America has not been well represented in either theoretical or empirical discussions of the broader conflict. With some notable exceptions, studies have proceeded in rather conventional channels, focusing on U.S. policy objectives and high-profile leaders (Fidel Castro) and events (the Cuban Missile Crisis) and drawing largely on U.S. government sources. Moreover, only rarely have U.S. foreign relations scholars engaged productively with Latin American historians who analyze how the...

Tangled Destinies: Latin America and the United States
ISBN: 9780826321176 / Angielski / Miękka / 303 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. An imbalance of power and a sense of unresolved tension have long plagued relations between the United States and Latin America. This book offers an important new synthesis of that complex relationship by studying how actions and policies of the United States have been interpreted and played out in Latin America. Beginning with the Monroe Doctrine in 1823, the United States unilaterally asserted its right to protect the hemisphere against foreign intervention. But what began as a policy boldly proclaiming hemispheric security soon led to direct intervention by the United States in...
