s of 1997, the United States faces an unprecedented degree of security, stability, and economic prosperity in its relations with Latin America. Never before have US strategic interests in Latin America been as well-protected or have its prospects seemed, at least on the surface, so promising. Yet while the US strategic interests are in better shape militarily, politically, and economically this decade than at any time since the end of the Second World War, some problems remain. Over the long run, there is also the risk that old problems, which today seem to have ebbed away, will return. Thus, the positive tone of any contemporary assessment must be tempered with an awareness of remaining areas of concern as well as of possible future crises.

形形色色的民粹主义政党和运动。到20世纪60年代,参与式发展几乎已经成为一种时代精神,在第一个联合国发展十年期间启动的许多发展项目中,包括“进步联盟”(Alliance for Progress),表面上都充斥着对分配问题的关注。有必要回顾一下,在战后发展研究蓬勃发展的早期,Viner(1952)曾提出,发展的主要目标(和检验)应该是减少大规模贫困。例如,美国国际开发署(AID)和粮食及农业组织(FAO)都对土地权属改革和农民组织感兴趣,鼓励修改土地结构的新项目,同时在和平队等组织的主持下发起了社区发展努力和信用合作社。为了修复长期服从政党和/或政府指令的劳资关系体系,制定了旨在加强工会的方案。在美洲开发银行的支持下设立的社会进步信托基金和拉丁美洲经济委员会的社会发展司日益活跃

URING the last two decades, military rulers have been replaced by democratically elected civilian governments throughout Latin America. Nevertheless, scholars (Mainwaring et al., 1992: 3,8) contend that nearly all contemporary Latin American polities remain unconsolidated democratic regimes principally because civilian control over the armed forces has not yet been established. Although the armed forces have returned to their barracks, they have retained considerable political and institutional autonomy. A number of scholars (Loveman, 1994; Agiiero, 1992; and others) emphasize that most Latin American constitutions still recognize the military's right to intervene when the constitutional order is threatened.

在过去的二十年里,整个拉丁美洲的军事统治者已经被民主选举的文官政府所取代。然而,学者们(Mainwaring et al., 1992: 3,8)认为,几乎所有当代拉丁美洲政治仍然是不巩固的民主政权,主要是因为对武装部队的文职控制尚未建立。虽然武装部队已返回军营,但他们保留了相当大的政治和体制自主权。一些学者(Loveman, 1994;Agiiero, 1992;和其他人)强调,大多数拉丁美洲宪法仍然承认,当宪法秩序受到威胁时,军方有权进行干预。武装部队也是如此
