It deals with the interplay of these dimensions from each country's perspective and in both private and public interactions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom the U.S. viewpoint, important issues include interpretation of the rise and fall of the Dominican Republic's strategic importance, the legacy of military intervention and occupation, the problem of Dominican dictatorship and instability, and vacillating U.S. efforts to \"democratize\" the country. From the Dominican perspective, the essential themes involve foreign policies adopted from a position of relative weakness, ambivalent love-hate views toward the United States, emphasis on economic interests and the movement of Dominicans between the two countries, international political isolation, the adversarial relationship with neighboring Haiti, and the legacy of dictatorship and the uneven evolution of a Dominican-style democratic system. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Dominican Republic and the United States\u003c\/i\u003e is the eleventh book in The United States and the Americas series, volumes suitable for classroom use.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eG.
