In this article the impact of the U.S. coup in Guatemala on U.S. - Central America socio-political relations will be evaluated, through the critical analysis of different perspectives and attributes on the subject. This work identifies, with reference to academic theories, key motives and interests behind the intervention, in relation to the significance of Guatemalan democratic president Jacopo Arbenz’ s reforms in the wider social context of Central America. The possible wide-scale impact of these reforms with the creation of viable alternative model to American liberal capitalism and consequently of a perceivable potential threat to U.S. intrinsic interests in its hemisphere, will be reflectively explored throughout with the intent of proposing a solution over the 1954 U.S. intervention.</span></p>}, number={2}, journal={Revista Internacional de Cooperación y Desarrollo}, author={Vassalli, Gianmarco}, year={2014}, month={Dec.}, pages={195–231} }
