| Description: |
This book focuses on Panama mismanagement of the U.S. properties it received and its cavalier disregard of environmental considerations crucial to the efficient operation of the canal. |
| Synopsis: |
On the last day of 1999, the United States turns over full possession of the Panama Canal and adjacent lands to Panama - and ends nine decades of presence in the isthmus. The author analyzes Panama's complicated society and politics, reviews the treaties, and evaluates Panama's comanagement of the canal with the United States and the canal's continuing viability, including environmental and modernizing needs. But this book is about more than a particular problem or even the future of Panama. This is also a parable for other small countries. Every act of liberation carries a corresponding burden of responsibility. The author casts into sharp relief the challenges facing many former colonial and dependent countries as we enter the post - anti-imperialist age. |
