A concept of foreign policy distance is introduced and operationalized through an index based on indicators of imports, diplomatic contacts, UN voting, verbal conflict, and conflict behavior. The index is validated by testing its sensitivity to eight well-known cases of foreign policy distance involving the United States and Latin America. Utilizing the index, the authors identify 45 significant changes in distance in United States/Latin American relations for the period 1953–1970, and classify them by U.S. presidential administration. After speculating about events which are chronologically associated with these changes, the authors argue that the next step is to operationalize competing paradigms in international politics, and using distance change as the dependent variable, to systematically compare and evaluate then-relative potency in accounting for such changes
