dcterms.abstractThis study analyzes the making Alliance for Progress from an Inter-American perspective by exploring the relationship between United States, Argentina and Venezuela during the implementation of the program. Based upon Inter-American research, this study explains the complexity and contradictions that aroused from this Development alliance. By placing special attention to the Inter-American complexities and contradictions behind the conceptualization and implementation of the Alliance for Progress, this study shows why Argentina and Venezuela had very different relationship with the program. Moreover, this work explains the reasons behind the Alliance's inability to promote Development based on democracy and economic growth. This study also demonstrates that the Alliance for Progress, as any other foreign aid program, was structurally incapable of promoting Development. In addition, it also demonstrates that the Inter-American system functions as a regional entity where U.S. and Latin American historical processes are tightly interrelated in a cause-effect relationship. Finally, this dissertation makes a contribution by showing the use of history both for decision makers and citizens.
