    President Barack Obama’s Foreign Policy toward Latin America
    in Foro Internacional , VOLUMEN L - NÚMERO 2 ,  2010
    During Ronald Reagan’s, George H. W. Bush’s and William Clinton’s terms of office a particular policy of State toward Latin America took shape in the United States. It was interrupted under George W. Bush and reappears with Barack Obama. Bearing in mind that the concept of policy of State is empirical, we can see the duration and reappearance of the fundamental traits of the United States government’s behavior toward Latin America under different presidents from both political parties. Eight topics are studied: protection of human rights and defense of democracy; promotion of free trade; benevolent policy toward legal immigration; strengthening multilateral agencies; pacification in Central America; readiness to resort to the use of military force and other coercive measures; simultaneous cooperation and conflict with Cuba; and militarization of drug trafficking policy
