Following a long history of conflict and distrust, the end of the Cold War witnessed the emergence of a strong friendship between the United States and Argentina. Historically one of the strongest and most independent countries of Latin America, Argentina developed a foreign policy during the post-Cold War period characterized by a strong allegiance to the United states. Deborah L. Norden and Roberto Russell show how Argentina's economic and political instability encouraged the government to redefine U.S.-Argentina's relations from prior patterns of animosity in order to improve the country's international image and attract foreign support. Although unable to prevent Argentina's renewed crisis in 2001, this shift nonetheless allowed the country to approach the crisis from a very different international position than previously. The United States and Argentina sets out to explore the nature of U.S.-Argentine relations by concentrating on the issues which have shaped and stood out in the dialogue between the two countries and how this shifting relationship has been played out in international institutions. -- Back cover.
