Nominator's project description
| Professor Friedman is an international authority in the study of Inter-American relations and of U.S. foreign policy. His research on U.S. policies against Nazis in Latin America and on Anti-Americanism proved path-breaking in that it demonstrated the multiple entanglements and misunderstandings of U.S. foreign policy in the 20th century. In Germany, he will be working on a new book project asking how the states of Latin America were able to counter U.S. hegemony by using multilateralism and international legal norms. |
