Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An incisive economic and political history of the Panama Canal On August 15, 1914, the Panama Canal officially opened for business, forever changing the face of global trade and military power, as well as the role of the United States on the world stage. The Canal's creation is often seen as an example of U.S. triumphalism, but Noel Maurer and Carlos Yu reveal a more complex story. Examining the Canal's influence on Panama, the United States, and the world, The Big Ditch deftly chronicles the economic and political history of the Canal, from Spain's earliest proposals in 1529 through the final handover of the Canal to Panama on December 31, 1999, to the present day. The authors show that the Canal produced great economic dividends for the first quarter-century following its opening, despite massive cost overruns and delays. Relying on geographical advantage and military might, the United States captured most of these benefits. By the 1970s, however, when the Carter administration negotiated the eventual turnover of the Canal back to Panama, the strategic and economic value of the Canal had disappeared. And yet, contrary to skeptics who believed it was impossible for a fledgling nation plagued by corruption to manage the Canal, when the Panamanians finally had control, they switched the Canal from a public utility to a for-profit corporation, ultimately running it better than their northern patrons. A remarkable tale, The Big Ditch offers vital lessons about the impact of large-scale infrastructure projects, American overseas interventions on institutional development, and the ability of governments to run companies effectively.
Download or read book Panama Canal What It Is What It Means written by John Barrett and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-24 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Panama Canal, What It Is What It Means This little handbook has been prepared to meet a special demand. The widespread and growing popular interest in the Panama Canal and the great number of persons visiting the Isthmus have caused a heavy call to be made upon the Pan American Union for the information which it contains. As the Pan American Union is the international organization and bureau of information maintained at Washington by all the twenty-one American republics, including the United States and the twenty Latin American countries, for the purpose of developing greater commerce, better acquaintance, more intercourse, and permanent peace among them, and as the Panama Canal will be a potent, influence in accomplishing these ends, it is fitting that such a handbook should be published under its auspices. It should be understood, however, that the Pan American Union is not officially responsible for any errors which may have inadvertently crept into the text or for any opinions expressed or policies advocated in its pages. It simply endeavors to answer in compact, succinct form the majority of questions which are asked, not only by those who, unable to go to Panama, desire to know more about the canal and what it means, but by those who, in going there, wish to learn ahead what they will see or confirm afterwards what they have seen. It is also intended to he useful to schools, colleges, libraries, and clubs where classes are being formed to study the canal, its meaning and effect. It should be likewise valuable for general reference. It has been compiled under the supervision of the Director General of the Pan American Union, who was United States Minister to Panama at the beginning of the work on the canal in 1904-1905, assisting in the diplomatic negotiations establishing the first relations of the government of Panama and that of the Canal Zone. Since then, at other posts and in his present position, he has not only endeavored to follow closely the construction of the canal but to study constantly its possible effect upon the progress and prosperity of the American republics.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Panama Canal: A Study in International Law and Diplomacy Although it is not our intention to put forth, and much less to reconcile, the various statements that have been made purporting to contain the famous doctrine of Monroe, as applied to an interoceanic communication, it would seem advisable to begin this study with the assertion of President Monroe in his message of December 2, 182 3. In this way we shall be able to sketch out the position that the United States have occupied and actually hold in the sub ject of isthmian transit across Central America. By inquiring into the policy which the United States have followed in this matter, much light will be thrown on the subject of the position of the Panama Canal before International Law.

Download or read book The Panama Canal Treaty written by Robert DeV. Bunn and published by Cambridge Lighthouse Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study addresses from a governmental perspective the legality of the 1977 Panama Canal Treaty, and related political, economic, and national interest aspects resulting from the transfer of control of the Panama Canal from the United States to Panama under the Treaty. Under the Treaty, the United States turned over to Panama, entirely gratis, $3.4 billion in lands and properties, including strategic military bases. The study concludes that the Panama Canal Treaty is illegal and unenforceable. Under international law, the terms of a treaty must be mutually agreed to by all signatories, but the United States and Panama never agreed to the same Treaty language. The Treaty language as approved by the United States Senate was never agreed to by Panama, and the Treaty has never been signed by the President of Panama, as required by the Constitution of Panama. Also, the Canal was ?property? of the United States, but its transfer was not approved by the House of Representatives, as provided for by Article IV of the United States Constitution. Counterarguments to these conclusions are presented. The Canal is wrapped inextricably with the free world and global strategy, and the United States? ability to utilize the Canal for uninterrupted commerce is essential to its commercial and financial wellbeing. The Canal has been critical to the United States military and commerce in the past, and it will continue to be so. Narco-terrorists are a potential threat to Panama and the Canal. Entire cities within Colombia, which borders Panama, are controlled by drug cartels and Colombia is fighting for its very existence. The Narco-terrorists are infectious and expansionistic and their threat of taking control of the Canal is genuine, and their hostile intentions against democracy and governmental functions are unambiguous.

Download or read book Panama and the United States written by Michael L. Conniff and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2012-12-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After Panama assumed control of the Panama Canal in 1999, its relations with the United States became those of a friendly neighbor. In this third edition, Michael L. Conniff describes Panama’s experience as owner-operator of one of the world’s premier waterways and the United States’ adjustment to its new, smaller role. He finds that Panama has done extremely well with the canal and economic growth but still struggles to curb corruption, drug trafficking, and money laundering. Historically, Panamanians aspired to have their country become a crossroads of the world, while Americans sought to tame a vast territory and protect their trade and influence around the globe. The building of the Panama Canal (1904–14) locked the two countries in their parallel quests but failed to satisfy either fully. Drawing on a wide array of sources, Conniff considers the full range of factors—political, social, strategic, diplomatic, economic, and intellectual—that have bound the two countries together.
