This comprehensive book examines the evolving political, economic, and security landscape of Central America and the Caribbean through the lens of U.S. foreign policy. Divided into two major sections, the book explores the root causes of migration, governance challenges, development initiatives, and bilateral relations shaping the region.

Part I, Central America, analyzes migration trends, targeted sanctions, aid management, and the domestic and international policies of nations such as Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua.

Part II, Caribbean, investigates regional trade and security cooperation, including the Caribbean Basin Security Initiative, CAFTA-DR, and U.S. relations with key nations such as Cuba, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and Trinidad and Tobago.
