Colombia and the United States--the Partnership : But What Is the Endgame?

American Ambassador to Colombia, 1994-97, Myles R. R. Frechette provides authoritative, eloquent, and impassioned perspectives on both the achievements and failures of American and Colombian efforts. He argues that American policy made analytical errors that need to be rectified, including underestimating the long-term complexity and interrelated nature of the problem, while both nations overestimated the amount of support that Colombia would receive from the international community. Moreover, nation-building and the rule of law are strategic imperatives which American policy must take seriously. Finally, it is critical to appreciate that Colombian cultural characteristics sharply influence what Colombians will do on their own behalf.Frechette, Myles R. R. is the author of 'Colombia and the United States--the Partnership : But What Is the Endgame?', published 2007 under ISBN 9781584872795 and ISBN 1584872799.
