UMI 300 North Zeeb Road Ann Arbor, MI 48103 Copyright by Michael Ty Snarr 1995 To My Parents ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Dr. Charles F. Hermann, the chair of my committee, for his willingness to assist me through every step of this project. I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to study under him and receive the benefits of his scholarly insights. I would also like to thank the other members of my committee. Dr. Margaret G. Hermann was extremely supportive through her many constructive suggestions and her warm personality. She made the process a great deal less impersonal. Thanks to Dr. Felipe Agiiero for his insights on Latin America. Dr. Joe D. Hagan of West Virginia University was incredibly helpful throughout this entire project. His expertise on Third World foreign policy was quite helpful and his enthusiasm for the project was a great motivator. Thanks also go to Jan Bosold whose efficiency and sense of humor were of great help to me. The Mershon Center and the Ohio Geographic Alliance provided valuable financial support throughout my years in graduate school. Randy Smith deserves a special thank you for understanding the demands of a doctoral program. David Kimball, Michael Barr, and Chris Chapman of The Ohio State University's Polimetrics Lab offered technical assistance for this project. In particular, David deserves special thanks for the many afternoons in which he patiently assisted me through the laborious process of calculating United Nations voting. Kenneth Coleman, William Furlong, Jeanne Hey, Jeffrey Lantis, Harold Molineu, and Bruce Moon all deserve thanks for their comments on various sections of this project. The dissertation is dedicated to my parents. My mother deserves a great deal of thanks for, among other things, her willingness to proof-reading what must have seemed like never-ending political science jargon. My father was instrumental in fostering my interest in Latin America and I could always count on his continued support. He also read the entire text and offered editorial suggestions. Special thanks goes to my loving wife, Melissa, who suffered the most throughout this project—yet showed remarkable patience. I never could have finished this project if not for her steadfast financial and spiritual support. But most important of all was her enduring friendship. Furthermore, she blessed me with our wonderful daughter, Madison Grace, who brought a great amount of joy into my life during die final stages of this project.
