After World War II, the US-led international security order exhibited substantial regional variation. Explaining this variation has been central to the debate over why is there nonatoin Asia. But this debate overlooks the emergence of multilateral security arrangements between the United States and Latin American countries during the same critical juncture. These inter-American institutions are puzzling considering the three factors most commonly used to explain divergence betweennatoand Asia: burden-sharing, external threats, and collective identity. These conditions fail to explain contemporaneous emergence of inter-American security multilateralism. Although the postwar inter-American system has been characterized as the solidification of US dominance, at the time of its framing, Latin American leaders judged the inter-American system as their best bet for maintaining beneficial US involvement in the Western Hemisphere while reinforcing voice opportunities for weaker states and imposing institutional constraints on US unilateralism. Drawing on multinational archival research, the author advances a historical institutionalist account. Shared historical antecedents of regionalism shaped the range of choices for Latin American and US leaders regarding the desirability and nature of new regional institutions while facilitating institutional change through mechanisms of layering and conversion during this critical juncture.

美洲的历史渊源和二战后的区域主义

二战后,美国主导的国际安全秩序呈现出明显的地区差异。解释这种变化一直是关于为什么没有北约在亚洲。但这场辩论忽略了美国和拉丁美洲国家在同一关键时刻出现的多边安全安排。考虑到最常用于解释两者之间分歧的三个因素,这些美洲机构令人费解。北约亚洲:分担责任、外部威胁和集体认同。这些条件无法解释同时出现的美洲安全多边主义。尽管战后的美洲体系被描述为美国主导地位的巩固,但在其形成时,拉丁美洲领导人认为美洲体系是他们保持美国在西半球有益参与同时增加发言机会的最佳选择为较弱的国家和对美国单边主义施加制度性约束。借鉴多国档案研究,作者提出了历史制度主义的叙述。
