Abstract

The Senate Intelligence Subcommittee's Report on Chile illuminates the contours of recent US-Latin American relations. With impressive detail and contained force, the Report does not limit itself to documenting what the US did in Chile until 1973; it also exemplifies the hegemonic concept on which this country has based its policy towards Latin America and the Caribbean. But the days of unchallenged US control over the Western Hemisphere are numbered. The historic "special relations" between the US and Latin America are coming to an end. A new approach to hemispheric relations is necessary. The trends in Latin America and elsewhere, however, are rapidly disintegrating the foundations of the hegemonic concept of the United States, which ten years ago seemed safe from any challenge.
