Consejo Latinoamericano de Ciencias Sociales. CLACSO eBooks January 1, 2017 Riccardo Badini 2 citations

The essay outlines the political-institutional dimension of the Cold War in the Americas, focusing on the period from the end of World War II to the mid-1960s. It argues that during the bipolar world order, the United States sought to make the continent 'safe' from the threat of international communism. In the long term, U.S. ascendancy in the hemisphere faced few obstacles from 1898 until the first half of the twentieth century, but afterward encountered strong contrasts with southern neighbors, despite the constraints imposed by the Cold War and Latin America's substantial political, military, economic, and cultural subordination.
