Reagan's Latin America
By Tom J. Farer
Some of President Reagan's advisers believe that Jimmy Carter had a clear policy for dealing with Third World countries, and that it was wrong, above all in Latin America. Probably the most detailed and influential statement of their view is the article 'Dictatorships and Double Standards' published last year by Jeane Kirkpatrick, the new ambassador to the UN.[1] The central problem, according to Professor Kirkpatrick, is 'that of formulating a morally and strategically acceptable, and politically realistic, program for dealing with nondemocratic governments who are threatened by Soviet-sponsored subversion.'
