BIBLIOGRAPHIC LEVEL: part of a serial Test case for the Reagan Doctrine : the covert "Contra" war / Kornbluh, Peter REFERENCE TO GENERIC UNIT (Periodica): Third world quarterly : No. 10(1)., 21. - London : Third World Foundation for Social and Economic Studies, 1988. - ISSN 0143-6597 / 88 LANGUAGE: ENG ABSTRACT: As Reagan enters his last year as US president, overthrowing the Sandinista government in Nicaragua continues to dominate his foreign policy agenda. Notwithstanding the major scandal over illegal aid to the 'Contras' and strident debate over future official US assistance, his administration remains committed to a course of escalating intervention. This obsession, overshadowing all the other foreign policy issues during the administration's two terms in office, has ensured that the CIA / Contra campaign against the Sandinistas will become the heritage of the Reagan presidency. Thus, to assess Reagan's probable place in history and the significance of the so-called Reagan doctrine of 'rollback', it is necessary to examine the evolution and implications of the US war on Nicaragua.

BIBLIOGRAPHIC LEVEL: monograph Guerra de baja intensidad : Reagan contra Centroamerica / Bermudez, Lilia, 229 p.. - Mexico : Siglo veintiuno editores, 1988. LANGUAGE: SPA ABSTRACT: Considered by the US government as a prolonged counterinsurgency war to confront the liberation movements and the government in the Third World defined as enemies, the doctrine of the low intensity conflict includes three central factors: the counter-insurgency, the reversion of the revolutionary processes, and the antiterrorism. As its main goal the recuperation of its global hegemony, the Reagan administration planted an agressive external policy connected closely to the establishment of the defense policy, where the military solutions have a high priority. The reformulation of the military strategy of the United States parts from the critical revision of the political and military errors committed in Vietnam. The strategy has a wide scale, from broken diplomatic rfelations to a direct military intervention.This book studies the internal factors of this policy, its implications in the military defense doctrine of the Reagan administration, the structural changes of the US military forces, and the implementation of this policy in Central America.
