520 |a On the last day of 1999, the United States turns over full possession of the Panama Canal and adjacent lands to Panama - and ends nine decades of presence in the isthmus. The author analyzes Panama's complicated society and politics, reviews the treaties, and evaluates Panama's comanagement of the canal with the United States and the canal's continuing viability, including environmental and modernizing needs 
520 |a Soon the Panama Canal and its adjoining U.S. military bases will pass to the Panamanian state -- as stipulated by the Carter-Torrijos treaties ratified some twenty-two years ago. In the intervening period, many Panamanians have had second thoughts about the withdrawal of an American presence from their country. So, indeed, have some Americans. But given the end of the cold war, the competing demands of congressional districts in the United States where bases are being closed, and the unpredictable nature of Panamanian politics, what are the costs and benefits of a residual U.S. presence? 
520 1 |a "Author discusses the problems faced by former colonial territories (or smaller, 'dependent' countries) when they assume responsibilities formerly undertaken by the US. Examines transfer of authority over Canal from US to Panama as a case study"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57  |u http://www.loc.gov/hlas 
520 1 |a "On the last day of 1999, the United States turns over full possession of the Panama Canal and adjacent lands to Panama - and ends nine decades of presence in the isthmus." "The author analyzes Panama's complicated society and politics, reviews the treaties, and evaluates Panama's comanagement of the canal with the United States and the canal's continuing viability, including environmental and modernizing needs." "But this book is about more than a particular problem or even the future of Panama. This is also a parable for other small countries. Every act of liberation carries a corresponding burden of responsibility. The author casts into sharp relief the challenges facing many former colonial and dependent countries as we enter the post - anti-imperialist age."--BOOK JACKET 
520 8 |a But this book is about more than a particular problem or even the future of Panama. This is also a parable for other small countries. Every act of liberation carries a corresponding burden of responsibility. The author casts into sharp relief the challenges facing many former colonial and dependent countries as we enter the post - anti-imperialist age 
520 8 |a Like all small countries in the circum-Caribbean, Panama has long cultivated a love-hate relationship with the United States. The "nationalism" that frightened the Carter administration into agreeing to surrender the canal is both fragile and artificial, reflecting the inchoate nature of Panamanian society and the enormous gulf between the country's political elites and its people. This gap has become more evident as the date for U.S. departure draws near and raises disturbing questions about the future political viability of the Panamanian state 
520 8 |a Panama's Canal also focuses on Panama's mismanagement of the properties it has already received from the United States and its cavalier disregard of some environmental considerations crucial to the efficient operation of the canal. The author argues that there is no turning back; the Carter-Torrijos treaties have become Panama's destiny -- and our own as well. The book concludes that it would be better to consider alternative transoceanic routes seriously and allow Panamanians to find their own way
