Notes on the doctrine of national security

During the period 1948 to 1990 there was one military coup per developing country every five years.
Between 1960 and 1980, three-fourths of Latin American states, one-half of less developed societies in Asia and two-thirds of the African states experienced military coups.
This period was the period when the U.S. military-industrial complex developed and have its political satellites practicing the doctrine of national security in those less developed societies "menaced" by anti-capitalist revolutions real or imagined.

Robert A.Pastor - 1992
U.S. foreign policy: the Caribbean Basin
Scholars of inter-American relations have devoted considerable efforts to try to locate the motive for U.S. involvement in the internal affairs of its neighbors. Instead of a single answer, they have amassed a collection of explanations that range from security (keep out rivals, maintain stability), political/ideological (promote democracy, prevent Communism or "alien" ideologies), economic (imperialism, access to investment or trade), to psychological (an impulse to dominate, a fear of insecurity, misperception). A particular explanation might be cogent for a case, but in trying to understand what moves the United States over time, one needs to look for patterns in the history of U.S. relations with the region.
