| Abstract [eng] |
The goal of this article is to conceptualize the US strategies towards the Northern Triangle countries during 2005–2015. Using Destradi’s framework of regional power strategies, this paper analyses strategic documents and secondary sources regarding how US defined goals of its regional cooperation and means for their achievement. It concludes claiming that the US strategy towards the region can be called hegemonic as it was openly subordinated to its needs. Nevertheless, there has been a shift from hard to intermediate hegemony as the US became more perceptive to the needs of its regional partners. |
