Summary, etc. An understanding of the basis and nature of US interventionism in Latin America is vitally important to an understanding of the US objective of military and economic preeminence world-wide. The United States has also sought to retain access to the vast natural resources of Latin America to meet its ever growing industrial and military requirements.<br/>This study critically reviews US policies towards Latin America and the responses of the Latin American countries. It evaluates the role and effectiveness of the inter-American regional organization, the Organisation of Amerian States (OAS), in solving intra-regional conflicts. It highlights how a major Power militarily intervenes in the internal affair a small nation through the instrumentality of a regional organisation.<br/>This book examines the background, manner and implications of the US intervention in the Dominican Republic. It discusses at length the successful American efforts to persuade the OAS to endorse its intervention and to forestall any effective role for the United Nations in resolving the crisis. It also explores in detail the role that the OAS played through its various instrumentalities such as the Special Committee, the Inter-American Peace Force, the Ad Hoc Committee, the Inter-American Humanitarian Commission and the Technical Assistance Committee on Electoral and Other Related Matters, apparently in compliance with the requirements of the US Government. The recent happenings in Grenada are discussed to prove that Washington considers it necessary to maintain its dominance within the hemisphere in order to achieve its objectives outside the hemisphere.
