Abstract

Most Latin American countries are characterised by social injustice, economic repression and widespread violations of human rights. Relations between Britain and Latin America. Although longstanding, are largely unquestioned by policy-makers and are rarely the subject of public debate. In publishing this review of British-Latin America relations, the intention of Latin America Bureau is to inform, to question and to recommend. This 1978 review, opens up the debate with articles which look at the nature of British aid, trade, investment and foreign policy in Latin America as well as the character of the Latin America regimes with which Britain deals.
