第一次泛美会议与现代泛美主义运动的开启

The First Pan-American Conference and the Beginning of the Modern Pan-American Movement

1889~1890年第一次泛美会议在华盛顿召开,经济扩张是美国发起召开本次会议的主要动机。由于美国国会两党的分歧以及以何塞·马蒂为代表的拉美国家代表的斗争,会议未取得多少实质性成果。美国倡导召开第一次泛美会议的最初动机并非泛美合作,而是使其成为美国在西半球政治经济扩张的一种手段,并且通过这次会议美国初步确立了在西半球的领导地位。第一次泛美会议在泛美主义和西半球合作的历史中占有重要地位,会议开启了现代泛美主义运动,西半球合作由此正式进入体制化的阶段。
