| Summary: | Topical and up to date, Talons of the Eagle: Latin America, the United States, and the World, Fifth Edition, presents an eminent scholar's perspective on the interaction between global trends and inter-American affairs, a subject that has become crucially important in the current era. Rather than concentrating solely on U.S. policy, Peter H. Smith uniquely addresses the structural relationships between the two regions by focusing on international systems, the distribution of power and the perception and pursuit of national interests. Throughout, this provocative text casts Iight on such contemporary issues as economic integration, drug trafficking, undocumented migration and the rise of Latin America's "new left." ft also analyzes Latin American reactions and responses to the United States and to the rest of the world in these complex and troubling times. |
