Beskrivning

In recent years, significant attention has focused upon the Islamic Republic of Iran’s nuclear ambitions, and the threat they pose to the United States and the West. Far less well understood, however, has been the phenomenon of Iran’s regional advance in America’s own Hemisphere—an intrusion that has both foreign policy and national security implications for the United States and its allies. In this collection, noted specialists and regional experts examine the various facets of Iran’s contemporary presence in Central and South America, and detail what the Islamic Republic’s growing geopolitical footprint south of the U.S. border signifies, both for Iran and for the United States.

Recensioner i media

Washington think-tank leaders Humire (Center for a Secure Free Society) and Berman (American Foreign Policy Council) argue that there is a threatening link between Iraniam radicalism and Latin American leftist populist regimes. They have assembled a group of Latin American former military and intelligence officers, public officeholders, journalists, and academics to provide country-specific cases of how—through mainly covert, clandestine operations—Iran has intruded into Latin America, thereby posing a threat to democratic regimes. The goal of the volume is to expose Iran's systematic, long-term strategy to expand its influence and capability in the Western Hemisphere and to prompt greater US engagement to counter the intrusion and its disruptive influence. The work is up-to-date in its coverage of regional events, but it maintains a very specialized focus. Recommended for those libraries with extensive holdings on Latin American politics. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students and researchers.
