The United States and Venezuela: Beyond the Bilateral Dimension

Abstract

The U.S. military buildup in the Caribbean—the most significant since the Cuban Missile Crisis—comes at a moment when a new world order is taking shape, its contours still unclear, and in which the U.S. seeks to be more assertive in the Western Hemisphere. This disposition toward South America and the Caribbean was underscored by the recent publication of the new U.S. National Security Strategy, in which the Monroe Doctrine is explicitly invoked. This Policy Brief situates the developments involving the U.S. and Venezuela within a broader geopolitical context and outlines possible scenarios for the evolution of this standoff in order to clarify what is at stake in the region.
