The U.S. has faced no comparably powerful challengers to the exercise of its power in Latin America for much of the past century. It established its primacy over much of East Asia in the aftermath of WW II and extended its influence in the late 1970's and after the end of the Vietnam War through its entente with China to balance the Soviet Union. By contrast, the U.S. has always encountered rivals and challengers in Europe, has attemp 606 $aBalance of power 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y1989- 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$zEast Asia 607 $aEast Asia$xForeign relations$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$zLatin America 607 $aLatin America$xForeign relations$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aBalance of power. 676 $a327.7305/09/0511 701 $aDominguez$b Jorge I.$f1945-$0905159 701 $aKim$b Pyong-guk$f1959 Mar. 18-$0856745 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462594803321 996 $aBetween compliance and conflict$92069520 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02567oam 22007335 450 001 9910779863103321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a0-8213-9700-1 024 7 $a10.1596/978-0-8213-9660-5 035 $a(CKB)2550000001100294 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000917179 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12468283 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000917179 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10892187 035 $a(PQKB)10590793 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1316478 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1316478 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10732003 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL504720 035 $a(OCoLC)853239054 035 $a(The World Bank)17435153 035 $a(US-djbf)17435153 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000001100294 100 $a20120820d2013 uf 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aUncovering the drivers of utility performance : $elessons from Latin America and the Caribbean on the role of the private sector, regulation, and governance in the power, water, and telecommunication sectors. /$fLuis A.
