Abstract

U.S. military policy in the Caribbean after the Cold War faces two nontraditional security threats: drug trafficking and illegal migration. Haiti and Cuba are the worst possible scenarios. This policy is being formulated and furthered by the U.S. Atlantic Command in conjunction with regional security forces but without adequate civilian participation and public debate in the Caribbean. This policy contradicts stated U.S. goals of promoting democratic practices and institutions in the region. U.S. military policy in the Caribbean is analyzed within a historical context that divides the U.S. military presence—in terms of installations and armed forces—in the Caribbean during the twentieth century into five phases, with emphasis on the Cold War and its aftermath.
