A survey of the Alliance for Progress : [an honors thesis (HONRS 499)]

The purpose of this paper is 'to make a survey of the Alliance for Progress. I hope to show what the conditions are that the Alliance is trying to eradicate and in doing so, to show why the masses of people in Latin America must have help. In order to do this it will be necessary to discuss not only the problems of Latin America, but also the problems the Alliance is encountering as it tries to realize its goats. A discussion of what progress has been made during the first year will be included to show that the Alliance has met with some success and that time and patience are two of the most important factors in determining just how successful the Alliance will be.
