Overview: Conceptual Approaches 1.Idealist (transnationalist) Role of institutions Democracy and peace Construction of system Interdependence and economic interests Implications for U.S.-Latin American relations

2. Realist Quest for power Emphasis on nation-state State as rational, unitary actor Anarchy rather than coordination Implications for U.S.-Latin American relations

3.Radical Preeminence of social classes State as tool of dominant class Hierarchy (dependencia) rather than anarchy Ideology rather than rationality Implications for U.S.-Latin American relations Postscript: Globalization as framework or ideology

Public opinion has little if any effect 3. State apparatus can mold and mobilize public opinion, which in turn provides legitimacy for elite decisions
