Abstract

wars in Angola and Ethiopia. Castro won Soviet support for his foreign interventions, but he was the one who spearheaded them. His mix of “non-alignment” and close links to Moscow offered a proven way for a small country to punch well above its weight internationally. Under these circumstances, it would have been astonishing if FSLN leaders, flush with success and having momentum on their side, had decided to sacrifice their Marxist-Leninist program and seek a “new sort of revolutionary government.” Even for readers who are not persuaded by Lee’s view of the possibilities of the Sandinista revolution, this is an impressive book. Lee treats Nicaragua and Nicaraguans sympathetically and on their own merits, yet he is also mindful of larger international political, economic, social, and cultural forces. The Ends of Modernization deserves the attention of anyone interested in Central America and Caribbean, North-South, and East-West issues during the Cold War, U.S.-Latin American relations, and politics and international relations in Nicaragua.
《外交会议:里根、撒切尔和峰会的艺术》,作者:詹姆斯·库珀
安哥拉和埃塞俄比亚的战争。卡斯特罗的对外干预赢得了苏联的支持,但他是带头干预的人。他将“不结盟”和与莫斯科的密切联系结合在一起,为一个小国在国际上的影响力提供了一种行之有效的方式。在这种情况下,如果成功如潮、势头强劲的FSLN领导人决定牺牲他们的马列主义计划,寻求一个“新型革命政府”,那将是令人惊讶的。即使对于那些不相信李对桑地诺革命可能性的看法的读者来说,这也是一本令人印象深刻的书。李同情尼加拉瓜和尼加拉瓜人民,并根据他们自己的优点,但他也注意到更大的国际政治、经济、社会和文化力量。现代化的终结值得任何对冷战期间的中美洲和加勒比、南北和东西方问题、美国与拉丁美洲关系以及尼加拉瓜的政治和国际关系感兴趣的人关注。
