Download or read book Panama and the Canal U S Engaging in the 21st Century written by and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The decision to transfer control of the Canal to Panama is history and the transition is already in its final stages. Although this decision is now behind our nation, the important strategic question remains: Do we as a nation continue to have vital national security interests in Panama and the Canal, and are there policies we can formulate to advance these interests? I believe the answer is a resounding 'yes.' The Canal continues to have a vital role in our strategic interests not only in the stability and security of Latin America, but because of expanding trade with the emerging economic giants and international markets of the Pacific Rim, China and the Far East. It affects our global interests as well. The policy objective for our nation in Panama must be to remain effectively engaged in Panama politically, economically and diplomatically to ensure that the Canal and the Republic of Panama remain healthy during the next century. This means that the Canal must remain free and open to world trade, it must be properly maintained and modernized; and toils must be controlled at reasonable levels. Furthermore, Panama must remain democratic and economically independent.

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.
Download or read book The Panama Canal written by H. Bruce Dickey and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the earliest days of European colonization, the traffic crossing the Isthmus of Panama has been a primary source of income for the inhabitants. Surveys for the building of a canal were made as early as 1534. Spurred by the acquisition of Florida and of California in the wake of its 1849 Gold Rush, the United States determined that it was in its national economic interests to build a canal across Panama. With the emergence of the U.S. as a global power, the canal took on increased national strategic importance. The Canal Treaties of 1977 generated much discussion as to whether the canal retains the same high level of national security interest it once enjoyed. This paper investigates the current economic and military value of the Panama Canal and possible U.S Coast Guard involvement in protecting United States interests there through an examination of the historical perspectives that are essential to understanding Panamanian-United States relations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to develop a framework for analysis of the threats confronting the newly established Panamanian government, as well as US personnel and facilities in Panama. Although political change may occur through democratic and nondemocratic means, this study seeks to develop a model for assessing the likelihood that non-democratic means of change will threaten Panama. To that end, economic, political, and social determinants must first be analyzed to isolate the conditions under which these threats are likely to emerge. The framework can then be applied to formulate strategic, operational, and tactical intelligence requirements to guide collection efforts and intelligence analysis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The spectacle of the United States being defied by someone who was little better than a street thug in the fall of 1989 was the beginning of this paper. How did we get to the position where General Manuel Antonio Noriega could laugh at our threats? This paper reviews the stated U.S. national interests and then looks at several informed observers opinions of national strategy in Latin America. Next a strategic appraisal of Panama is presented. This appraisal also looks at domestic politics which plays such a vital role in our strategy toward Panama. Following this a chronology of the crisis between the U.S. and General Noriega, culminating in Operation Just Cause in December 1989. Additionally the effects of the U.S. economic sanctions was detailed and an analysis of why our policy failed. An analysis of whether Operation Just Cause met the tests of the Weinberger Doctrine is also included. Based on the strategic appraisal and the differing views of the U.S. policy a national strategy for Panama is developed. This includes specific national objectives, and concepts and resources linked to these objectives. (sdw).
Download or read book U S Strategy in the Asian Century written by Abraham M. Denmark and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2020-08-18 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the Indo-Pacific emerges as the world’s most strategically consequential region and competition with China intensifies, the United States must adapt its approach if it seeks to preserve its power and sustain regional stability and prosperity. Yet as China grows more powerful and aggressive and the United States appears increasingly unreliable, the Indo-Pacific has become riven with uncertainty. These dynamics threaten to undermine the region’s unprecedented peace and prosperity. U.S. Strategy in the Asian Century offers vital perspective on the future of power dynamics in the Indo-Pacific, focusing on the critical roles that American allies and partners can play. Abraham M. Denmark argues that these alliances and partnerships represent indispensable strategic assets for the United States. They will be necessary in any effort by Washington to compete with China, promote prosperity, and preserve a liberal order in the Indo-Pacific. Blending academic rigor and practical policy experience, Denmark analyzes the future of major-power competition in the region, with an eye toward American security interests. He details a pragmatic approach for the United States to harness the power of its allies and partners to ensure long-term regional stability and successfully navigate the complexities of the new era.
