Abstract

The first part of this paper reviews the changes or evolution of opinions held in Latin America and the United States regarding the reciprocal meaning of their economic ties, to contrast them in the second part with objective antecedents on those ties, taking as a starting point only the mutant, more or less official point of view of the United States. We maintain that there is a growing weakness and imbalance in their economic relations to the detriment of Latin America. The third part tries to analyze, against the background of the preceding sections, some main elements to evaluate the possibilities of conflict or détente in the relations of the two areas.
