Description
Panama and the United States: The End of the Alliance By Michael L. Conniff The transfer of ownership of the Panama Canal from the United States to Panama in 1999 marked a significant shift in relations between the two countries. This third edition explores how Panama has navigated its new role as owner-operator of one of the world's premier waterways, while the United States has adjusted to its smaller influence. Conniff examines the complex factors that have shaped the relationship between Panama and the United States, including economic growth, corruption, and international relations. He draws on a wide range of sources to provide a nuanced understanding of the historical and contemporary dynamics at play. This book offers a detailed analysis of the enduring ties between Panama and the United States, and how these relationships continue to evolve in the modern era.
