Abstract:

The current fighting in Nicaragua raises a broad range of questions concerning not only U.S. Latin American policy, but also U.S.-Soviet relations. One needs to examine carefully such things as the part that Panama is reportedly playing in the Nicaraguan conflict and whether it violates the Neutrality Treaty ratified by the U.S. Senate last year.
