“…One argued that stability and peace in an international system was endangered by the increasing preponderance of a single country, and, in that context, the essential task was the restoration of balance through an alliance (CLAUDE, 1989, p. 79). a The other argument, defended by other theorists of the doctrine, noted that "nothing but the preponderance of power" can preserve peace (DAVIS;GOOD, 1960, p. 302 which was still looming. 5 The delegates of Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador and New Granada met in the city of Lima between December 11, 1847, and March 1, 1848.…”

This paper studies the background, the context and the meanings of the Continental Treaty of Santiago negotiated in 1856 by the ministers of Chile, Ecuador and Peru, taking into consideration a protocol signed by Central American representatives in Washington and the negotiating position of Brazil. Two facets of the initiative are mainly considered: a) the objective of creating a Latin American Confederation, purpose inspired in three previous efforts, and b) the Confederation's role as the first concerted action against U.S. expansionism in the 1850s. Overall, the episode of Continental Treaty substantiates the hypothesis about nineteenth-century perception of the Confederation as a balance of power device in the Western Hemisphere.

“…In some cases, it was Spaniards or Portuguese who remained after empire's end, whose presence was sometimes found to be undesirable and triggered, respectively, anti-Spanish and Lusophobic riots. 17 In other cases, such as in Buenos Aires, British merchant communities burgeoned as trade restrictions fell, whereas in Brazil the government encouraged the emigration of German farmers and Irish mercenaries. 18 Europe's presence also was felt in more coercive ways, many of which have been traditionally lumped together as components of 'informal empire'.…”

The independence of Latin America from colonial rule in the first decades of the nineteenth century is generally held to have broken the bonds which had linked Europe to the Americas for three centuries. This article contends that a re-examination of the decade of the 1820s reveals the persistence, as well as the reconfiguration, of connections between the Old World and the New after the dissolution of the Iberian Atlantic monarchies. Some of these multi-faceted connections are introduced and explored, most notably commercial ties, intellectual and cultural influences, immigration, financial obligations, the slave trade and its suppression, and diplomatic negotiations. Recognition and appreciation of these connections has important consequences for our understandings of the history of the Atlantic World, the ‘Age of Revolutions’, and Latin American Independence itself.

Rica, it had great natural advantages, from being a place where 'the most exquisite fruits of all climes grow in abundance' to possessing harbours on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. Indeed, it might well be 'the best of all the King's possessions'. 1 Yet, as a contributor to Guatemala's newspaper remarked in 1803, 'this kingdom, which should be one of the most prosperous, is one of the most miserable ones in America'. How to square these contradictions, and help fulfil the true potential of the region, was the mission of a group of reformers who came together in patriotic associations in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. They believed that geographical, climatic, botanical, agricultural, and demographic knowledge held the key to 'enlightened' progress. True patriots would not just be content with gathering such knowledge. Instead, theirs was a practical Enlightenment that would offer prosperity by applying scientific knowledge to the management of landscapes. As this book argues, Central American reformers found the meaning of a homeland not in abstract ideas of idealised national landscapes, but in experiential engagement with them. By the early nineteenth century, reformers imagined a new region, one that was self-confidently connected to the rest of the world through scientific communication networks, and one whose inhabitants were dedicated to developing its bountiful landscapes into ever more prosperous spaces. Although patriotic identities of the eighteenth century map onto nineteenth-century nationalisms imprecisely at best, the legacy of new visions of Central 2
