Overview

When Panama assumed control of the Panama Canal in 2000, its relationship with the United States became unclear. In this new edition, Michael L. Conniff explores the implications of Panama's newly acquired opportunities and how events since the 1989 U.S. invasion have provided a fertile environment for the emergence of new parties, a new generation of politicians, and more democratic business procedures.
