Envisioned before 1900 as a diplomatic and political model for cooperation among nations in the Americas, Pan Americanism has come to represent a varied set of economic, cultural, and political processes at the core of both inter-American cooperation and conflict. This collection of new essays takes Pan Americanism beyond a mere discussion of inter-American cooperation and a Cold War focus on defense and security. While the Pan American Union and, later, the Organization of American States have often been at the center of Pan American politics and diplomacy, Sheinin offers an overview of the ranging facets of Pan Americanism both inside and outside of these institutions. Themes range from a ...

Excerpt from Problems in Pan Americanism There are two Americas - not North and South, but Anglo-Saxon and Latin. If an accident of history had not given them the same names both peoples might have been spared the serious results of ignoring the significance of wide differences in historical inheritance, religion, language, customs and ideals. But the failure of both parties to take into account these differences has been fatal. Future historians will wonder that Americans, North and South, lived together on this Continent so long without understanding each other.
