Plan Colombia and the Mérida Initiative represented an unprecedented effort by Washington to stabilize fragile democracies in Latin America by shoring up the Colombian and Mexican security forces, respectively. From Peril to Partnership evaluates the extent to which the US government achieved its stabilization objectives. US assistance was more helpful to Colombia than Mexico, which adopted a more militarized approach. This book highlights the importance of the private sector, party system, and security bureaucracy in facilitating progress-and how their absence obstructs it.

Minding our own business,while leaving other peoples to mind theirs, was the basis of the United States'successful foreign policy from 1815 to 1910. Best described in the works ofJohn Quincy Adams and carried out by his successors throughout the nineteenth century,this is the foreign policy by which America grew prosperous and in peace. Thispolicy also remains the commonsense philosophy of most Americans today. America's Rise and Fallamong Nations contrasts this original "America First" foreign policy with theprinciples and results of the following hundred years of "progressive" foreign policywhich suddenly arrived with the election of Woodrow Wilson as president in 1912.The author explains why the many fruitless American wars--large and small--which followedWilson's conduct of World War I always resulted in a failed peace and oftenmore conflicts abroad and also the loss of the domestic peace each failurecaused among Americans. Finally, America's Rise and Fallamong Nations examines how John Quincy Adams's insights are applicable to ourcurrent domestic and international environments and exemplify what "AmericaFirst" can mean in our time. They chart a clear path to escape America's previouseleven disastrous decades of so-called "progressive" international relations.
