Book excerpt: From Imperialism to Transnationalism This study of the political, economic, and socio-cultural relationship between the Dominican Republic and the United States follows its evolution from the middle of the nineteenth century to the mid-1990s. It deals with the interplay of these dimensions from each country's perspective and in both private and public interactions. From the U.S. viewpoint, important issues include interpretation of the rise and fall of the Dominican Republic's strategic importance, the legacy of military intervention and occupation, the problem of Dominican dictatorship and instability, and vacillating U.S. efforts to "democratize" the country. From the Dominican perspective, the essential themes involve foreign policies adopted from a position of relative weakness, ambivalent love-hate views toward the United States, emphasis on economic interests and the movement of Dominicans between the two countries, international political isolation, the adversarial relationship with neighboring Haiti, and the legacy of dictatorship and the uneven evolution of a Dominican-style democratic system. The Dominican Republic and the United States is the eleventh book in The United States and the Americas series, volumes suitable for classroom use. "(An) extremely well written and intelligently crafted work". -- Choice "Undoubtedly the most useful book to date on Cuba-United States relations". -- The Journal of American History "A masterful overview. Perez's surehanded delineation of continuing themes in Cuban-American relations provides a context for specific events that clarifies their meaning. Clearly written, economical, and focused on what is really important, this bookis an excellent introduction". -- The Journal of Southern History "Thompson and Randall have succeeded magnificently. This is an important book that promises to become a standard in the field". -- The Journal of American History "Two respected historians have purposely broadened their approach to their subject, venturing for beyond a mere history of the foreign relations between the United States and Canada". -- Library Journal "A sure-footed assessment". -- American Historical Review "Informative and entertaining". -- Times Literary Supplement

Download or read book Dollar Diplomacy by Force written by Ellen D. Tillman and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2016-02-11 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early twentieth century, the United States set out to guarantee economic and political stability in the Caribbean without intrusive and controversial military interventions—and ended up achieving exactly the opposite. Using military and government records from the United States and the Dominican Republic, this work investigates the extent to which early twentieth-century U.S. involvement in the Dominican Republic fundamentally changed both Dominican history and the conduct of U.S. foreign policy. Successive U.S. interventions based on a policy of "dollar diplomacy" led to military occupation and contributed to a drastic shifting of the Dominican social order, as well as centralized state military power, which Rafael Trujillo leveraged in his 1920s rise to dictatorship. Ultimately, this book demonstrates that the overthrow of the social order resulted not from military planning but from the interplay between uncoordinated interventions in Dominican society and Dominican responses. Telling a neglected story of occupation and resistance, Ellen D. Tillman documents the troubled efforts of the U.S. government to break down the Dominican Republic and remake it from the ground up, providing fresh insight into the motivations and limitations of occupation.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: President Leonel Fernandez of the Dominican Liberation Party (PLD), who served as president previously (1996-2000), took office on August 16, 2004. Press reports indicate that, 7 months into his 4-year term, President Fernandez has restored some confidence in the Dominican economy. Since August 2004, the Dominican currency has risen 30% against the U.S. dollar and inflation has declined dramatically. The Fernandez administration has struggled, however, to cope with rising crime rates and persistent electricity shortages. On December 28, 2004, President Fernandez signed a bill repealing a Dominican tax on drinks containing high fructose corn syrup, a major U.S. product, that had threatened the country's chances of being included in the U.S.- Dominican Republic-Central American Free Trade Agreement (DR-CAFTA). On January 31, 2005, the IMF approved a new $670 million loan agreement with the Dominican Republic. For further information, see CRS Report RL32322, "Central America and the Dominican Republic in the Context of the Free Trade Agreement (DR-CAFTA)," coordinated by Larry Storrs.
