John F. Kennedy and Constitutionalism, Democracy and Human Rights in Latin America: Promise and Performance.
Rabe, Stephen G.
New England Journal of History, v52 n2 p38-57 Fall 1995
Summarizes the sometimes confusing and contradictory efforts of the John F. Kennedy administration to encourage the development of democratic political processes in Latin America. Although sincere, Kennedy's efforts often were stymied by resistance from the local power structure and his own Central Intelligence Agency. Eventually, anti-communist considerations dominated the Latin American policy. (MJP)
