It shows that most of these efforts were motivated by external factors such as wars or conflicts with other world powers. Although genuine, these attempts were ultimately subordinate to the United States’ geopolitical and economic foreign policy priorities. Racial elements and, especially, the ignorance of US policymakers dedicated to Latin American affairs, played a role in limiting the success of US initiatives. The essay concludes that a world power’s good intentions alone do not qualify as behaving like a good neighbor.Este ensayo examina los múltiples intentos realizados por el gobierno estadounidense a lo largo del siglo XX para mejorar sus relaciones con América Latina. La mayoría de estos fueron causados por factores externos como guerras o conflictos con otras potencias. Aunque sinceras, estas iniciativas fracasaron ante las prioridades geopolíticas y económicas de la política exterior estadounidense. Elementos raciales y, principalmente, la ignorancia de los policy makers estadounidenses en asuntos latinoamericanos también determinaron el poco éxito de tales iniciativas.Concluimos que las buenas intenciones no son suficientes para que una potencia mundial logre comportarse como un buen vecino.Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú2019-10-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://revistas.pucp.edu.pe/index.php/historica/article/view/2133710.18800/historica.201901.004Histórica; Vol. 43 Núm. 1 (2019); 113-1542223-375X0252-8894reponame:Revistas - Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perúinstname:Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perúinstacron:PUCPspahttp://revistas.pucp.edu.pe/index.php/historica/article/view/21337/21015info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:revistaspuc:article/213372019-10-25T16:37:59Z |
