Us Military Bases, Quasi-Bases, and Domestic Politics in Latin America

by Sebastian E. Bitar and Gardner

Why has the United States failed to open new military bases in Latin America since the start of the twenty-first century? If not bases, what forms of military presence does the US use for its war against drugs? This book explores domestic opposition to formal US bases in Latin America, and provides evidence of a growing network of informal and secretive base-like arrangements that supports US military operations in the region.
