DESCRIPTION:U.S. foreign policy in regard to Latin America has been one in 
 which the United States has sought to protect its own political\, economic
 \, and strategic interests within the Western Hemisphere. Since the Spanis
 h-American War\, the United States has assumed an aggressive and oftentime
 s intrusive role in Latin American affairs as a guard against a variety of
  real and potential threats to North American ascendancy. Yet in addition 
 to periodic military interventions on the part of U.S. marines\, the Unite
 d States has attempted to foster capitalism and democracy in the region in
  hopes of achieving a certain degree of political and economic stability w
 hich might provide a deterrent to foreign domination. Over the course of t
 his paper\, I carefully illustrate how the Alliance for Progress failed in
  its efforts to bring both economic prosperity and democratic reform to th
 e majority of Nicaraguans. Moreover\, I demonstrate how the Alliance becam
 e a mechanism for the state and national elites to expand their own econom
 ic enterprises to the detriment of those less privileged. But before such 
 conclusions are reached\, this author first reviews past developments in U
 .S. foreign policy toward Latin America that led to the formulation of the
  Alliance for Progress. Second\, there is an examination of the political\
 , social\, and economic structures specific to Nicaragua. Last\, I discuss
  the implementation and outcome of the Alliance for Progress in Nicaragua 
 within the context of the aforementioned dynamics.
