The first subsection discusses the specifics of diplomatic recognition, in particular, preferred legal interpretations and the reality of its application in international affairs.
Indeed, while there should be no doubting Washington’s continuing regional prowess, its distraction with other issues and the stagnation of the US economy in recent years has led to the republics of Central America investigating alternative allegiances and sources of investment (Erikson, 2009; Hearn and Leon Manriquez, 2011; Zhu, 2010).
