The United States’ Post-9/11 Circum-Caribbean ‘Smart Power’ Strategy: Continuity or Change?
Ujjwal Rabidas 한국라틴아메리카학회 2014 라틴아메리카연구 Vol.27 No.1
It is argued that with the end of the Cold War the United States adopted a strategy of ‘pragmatism’ to engage with its immediate neighbours in the Circum-Caribbean region once the ‘threat of communism’ had ceased to exist. While developments with wider significance have been decisive in the relations between the Circum-Caribbean states and the United States, what followed after the events of 11 September 2001? Several studies have been conducted to explain the post-9/11 Circum-Caribbean-United States dynamics. This work examines a further dimension in the debate by asking if the United States’ strategy of ‘smart power’ is evolving in a way that cleverly combines the ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ facets of diplomacy, and what the relatively long-term trend in the Circum-Caribbean-United States relations suggests ?continuity or change? when the United States, as it appears, has smartly intertwined business interests with security considerations in the region.
