The recent literature on U.S. relations ,with Central America and with the Caribbean region exhibits broad agreement on several recurring patterns in U.S. policy.l First, U.S. policy toward the region has been erratic, oscillating between benign neglect of the area and overreaction to its crises. Second, the United States has sought first to achieve and then to maintain hegemony over the region by keeping leftist governments out of power. Third, in doing so, the United States has often supported repressive regimes whose practices have polarized local populations and ultimately undermined regional stability and U.S. hegemonic control. A more general theme in the literature is that the United States seems to have learned so little from the history of its relations with the countries of Central America and the Caribbean
