Anti-corruption organisms and US hegemony in Central America

Journal Title: Conjuntura Austral: journal of the Global South - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 37

Abstract

This piece analyses how anti-corruption organisms in Central America advance US dominance in the region. These institutions seem to have spearheaded American interests in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador in a context of growing dispute with China. We suggest Western countries should focus on domestic measures to fight corruption abroad and international organisms should respect the sovereignty of target states.
