Notes

1. See Middlebrook and Rico, “The United States and Latin America in the 1980s: Change, Complexity, and Contending Perspectives,” in The United States and Latin America in the 1980s: Contending Perspectives on a Decade of Crisis, edited by Kevin J. Middlebrook and Carlos Rico (Pittsburgh, Pa: University of Pittsburgh Press, 1986), 7. The hegemonic system's components were military alliance with the United States, ideological commonality, U.S. intervention, and economic dependence on the United States. This concept is discussed in James R. Kurth, “The United States, Latin America, and the World: The Changing International Context of U.S.-Latin American Relations,” in ibid., 61–86.

3. John T. Rourke defines an international regime as “a complex of norms, treaties, international organizations, and transnational activity that orders an area of activity such as the environment or oceans.” See Rourke, International Relations on the World Stage, 2d ed. (Guilford, Conn.: Duskin, 1989), 541.

6. Establishing diplomatic relations with another country entails no cost, beyond a verbal statement recognizing the other country. Establishing diplomatic missions abroad does entail some costs, but they can be limited. An envoy can be accredited to more than one capital and the number of personnel assigned to a mission can be kept small.

7. Some of the restrictions are detailed by Atkins (pp.286–88). Others are identified in Luigi Einaudi, Hans Heymann, Jr., David Ronfeldt, and Cesar Sereseres, Arms Transfers to Latin America: Toward a Policy of Mutual Respect (Santa Monica, Calif.: Rand, 1973), 49–50; also in James D.
