Considering the importance and role of Dr. Muñoz, we can determine that his academic work referring to the diplomatic role of Latin America is connected to the role of American foreign policy. That’s why I chose to study his book, Latin American Views of the U.S. Policy. The book was written in 1985, and therefore has relevant information at the time of American foreign policy, about the leadership of Ronald Reagan, as well as a counterpoint to military leadership in the southern hemisphere.
Remembering the position of Dr. Muñoz, on the election of President Michelle Bachelet, I believe that this book has a very relevant historiographical basis for understanding the role of American influence in South America. In Latin American Views of U.S. Policy:The author provides a broad understanding of the role of the United States in relation to its foreign policy with Latin American countries. This allowed me to understand the extent of American influence and direct my research towards the role of the USA in the coup’s d’état of the 60’s and 70’s.
