The Decline of the United States’ Continental Leadership: Patterns of Resistance and Dependence among Latin American States?

Much of Latin America is democratic, but democracy has not brought the expected social and economic benefits. What is happening in Latin America? What is the role of the United States, and how are we perceived?
Ten countries in Latin America will hold presidential elections in 2006. On Jan. 15, Chile elected its first woman president, Michelle Bachelet. Venezuela’s president Hugo Chavez is an active critic of the United States, and Bolivia’s president Evo Morales, the first indigenous citizen to take power, is allied with him. Colombia, whose president Alvaro Uribe is also up for election this year, faces serious problems in his country involving drugs and guerilla warfare.
Frank Safford, a well-known expert on Colombia and Latin America, is a history professor at Northwestern University as well as director of the Undergraduate Program in International Studies. He joined Northwestern in 1966 after earning a Ph.D. at Columbia University.
