Abstract

This paper seeks to bring light to certain clues that will allow, in a coherent fashion, to establish an explanation of the wide influence the United States exterior policy exercises towards Latin America; understand the ethos that surrounds the habit and generates the tradition. But when the time comes for inferences,  we must clearly set up the question if  there is connection between  the hypothesis or justifications of the National Security Doctrine with a predisposition to ethnocentric hegemony in the ways that political, social and cultural relations are carried out; beyond its economic determinism, hemispherically speaking.  Finally this preliminary paper looks to find out if the optimism of a moral correlation, by far much more superior to the United States military policy, has any hope or possibility.
