El Nuevo Intervencionismo en el Sistema Interamericano

This article presents some elements to reflect on “new interventionism”. It describes historically the interventions displayed by the USA in various countries in Latin America, and analyses, within the reshaping of world scenario, the role of international organizations such as the United Nations and the Organization of American States in the defense of democracy, hemispheric security and human rights. These three issues are disscused in order to establish differences of opinion about the possibilities of oppening space to a new concept of multilateral intervention.
