The Attempt to Globalize Hegemony: From Inter-American Relations to the New World Order
This is a schematic, even crude, treatment of a very large topic: the history of inter-American relations before and after 9/11, with special reference to the meanings that can now be read into it retrospectively in the light of the significance of 9/11. It will focus on the role of the United States in Latin America, rather than on the relations of the Latin American countries with each other

El Salvador: The Military and Politics
Does the conflict in El Salvador, conceptualized by the U.S. government as a battle in the cold war, become more amenable to solution if seen strictly on its own terms? The current struggle seems most intelligible as the latest episode in the post-Conquest struggle of a Spanish-descended elite to maintain control of its land against threat from an Indiandescended peasantry. The military and paramilitary conduct of the struggle has alienated the n…

It is noteworthy that the recent spate of writings in the field of "political development" has shown a pronounced tendency to omit consideration of Latin America.

Military Motivations in the Seizure of Power
One of the most characteristic features of political processes in Latin America is the military seizure of power. The phenomenon is extremely complex and a complete understanding of it, if that is ever reached, will have to take into account a variety of causal factors operating over different periods of time, and interacting in various ways. Where a problem is this complex, one is well advised to approach it through a variety of methods, and thi…
Political Development and Socioeconomic Development: The Case of Latin America
One way of acquiring insight into the processes of political development in Latin America is to compare the countries of the area systematically in terms of the "degree of development" which each can be said to have attained. Ideally, such an enterprise can lead to the understanding of the past history of the "more developed" countries by reference to the present problems of the "less developed" while an understanding of the problems confronting …

The Political Development of Mexico
Mexico's political experience over the last fifty years-since the Revolution of 1910-is highly significant, not only for the rest of Latin America, but for much of the rest of the world. For Mexico has accomplished the exceedingly difficult feat of breaking out of the vicious circle of dictatorship, misery, and revolution, and finding a way to a regime that is at once increasingly democratic, stable, and progressive. Despite a relative lack of ma…

The Closeness of Elections in Latin America
One of the curious features of recent Latin American politics has been the closeness of the results of presidential elections. As shown by tables 1 and 2, the median gap between the two principal contenders in presidential elections taking place around 1970 was 4.93 percent, compared to 15.39 percent in elections taking place around 1950. Over half of the 1970 elections resulted in a smaller winning margin than the smallest such margin around 195…
The Influence of American Institutions in Latin America
United States influence has had a major role in the formation of Latin American political institutions, especially with respect to the separation of powers, the two- chamber legislature, the central role of the president, and the requirement for periodic elections. European influences have been more marked in administrative organization and the legal system, and there have been some attempts to institute cabinet responsibility to the legislature.…

The Theory of the Weimar Presidency
The Problem of the origins and development of the office of Reich President in the Weimar Republic is of interest for several reasons, possibly the principal one being its relation to the general problem of Hitler's accession to power. It will be recalledthat Hitler came to power initially as Chancellor in a “Presidial” cabinet, that is, one responsible to the President rather than to the Reichstag and governing bythe use of the President's emerg…

Hitler's Anti-Semitism: A Political Appraisal
The exploitation of prejudice for political ends can be found in many parts of the world today. Here is an essay on Hitler's use of anti-Semitism. This article was written before the author had read C. W. Cassinelli's “Totalitarianism, Ideology, and Propaganda” in the Journal of Politics for February 1960. Dr. Cassinelli's conclusions appear to support the validity of the approach taken here

The Latin American Military: Predatory Reactionaries or Modernizing Patriots
Until quite recently, the study of Latin American politics existed in a relatively primitive stage. A crude empiricism, occupied with the straightforward description of events or formal institutions, was relieved only by occasional global generalization of an impressionistic character about the informal characteristics of politics. However, substantial advances have begun to be made in the last few years in the direction of more systematic elabor…
