Relations between the United States and
Latin America have improved dramatically
in recent years as those nations move to-
ward democracies and free market econo-
mies, a specialist in Latin American affairs
said March 12.
Peter Hakim, guest speaker for the World
Affairs Council of San Antonio, told the
audience of 150 that during the Cold War,
Latin American leaders regularly confronted
the United States so as to appear nonaligned
with either superpower.
But in the post-Cold War world, a degree
of realignment with the United States has
occurred.
"Latin American leaders don't gain much
at home anymore by denouncing the Uni ted
States," Hakim said. "That's simply not part
of the political currency."
Hakim serves as staff director of the In-
ter-American Dialogue, a group of 90 promi-
nent citizens from North and Sou th America
who regularly review U.S. and Latin Ameri-
can relations and offer solutions to mutual
problems.

Hakimcited negotiations between Mexico
and the United States on free trade as an
example of the changing relations.
"Up until the time negotiations actually
began, my colleagues said such a step was
impossible and that no Mexican govern-
ment would risk it," Hakim said.
Now, according to public opinion polls
in Mexico, Mexicans want closer economic
and political ties with the United States.
Hakim said a stranger phenomenon is
occurring in Haiti. In an effort to restore to
office a left-wing president deposed by the
military, this country and Latin American
nations have brought to power a prime min-
ister from Haiti's communist party.
This would have been unheard of during
the height of the Cold War when the United
States often supported military regimes in
the hemisphere solely because of their op-
position to communism.
Hakim said the role of the Organization
of American States in hemispheric relations
is a good litmus test on their condition.

promote peace and development in the

"We will probably start in the
area around the visual arts and tech-
nology center since the sidewalks
and curbs in that area are finished,"
he said.
"The work will continue in phases
throughout the rest of the campus
so as not to interfere with student
access during the summer sessions."
Besides V ATC the areas included
in the landscaping project are:
• the land between Loftin Student

"Sure it'd be a lot easier if we could

In a related case, Jonas said San

pect in the April 10, 1991, kidnap-

Bid proposals for this campus'
landscaping portion of the district's
$103 million capital improvements
program will be advertised in local
newspapers this week.
Work on the project is expected
to begin in late May.
Dr. James Dye, assistant to the
president, said the landscaping
project should be complete in time
for the fall semester.
"We should have the landscap-

inflicted by the drug cartels on the general

The other principal area of disagreement
between the United Statesand Latin Americai
is Cuba. While both sides agree Cuba has to
change, they disagree on how to do it. I
Latin Americans believe the best way to
bring about change is to engage Cuba by
trading with it, sending tourists to it and
promotingcultural exchanges. This nation's
leaders, on the other hand, believe that as
long as Fidel Castro is in power, the best
approach is to isolate Cuba to accelerate
change.
Hakim said disagreement on this issue
should not cause any problems unless the
United States tries to punish Latin America
for its approach. ;
Bills have been introduced in Congress}
Hakim said, proposing discontinuance of
free trade negotiations with Mexico because
of its willingness to trade with Cuba.
Despite this, Hakim believes relations
with Latin America are likely to improve, if
Latin America continues on its democratic}
course and this nation keeps its promises or}
free trade. "The United States can't sud-|
denly become more protectionist," Hakifo
warned."
Wright also asked Bean to de-
velop an analysis of campus crime
since the fall semester of 1990 to
determine if there are patterns to
campus assaults.
