The Monroe Doctrine, marking its 200th anniversary, has sparked discussions among political figures and scholars. Representatives Chuy Garcia and Casar, along with Nydia Velazquez, advocate for ending the doctrine, citing its history of supporting coups and destabilizing Latin America. They propose a new regional policy based on peace and mutual respect. The doctrine's resurgence is also noted by ForeignPolicy and Stephen Kinzer, who highlight the US's global application of the doctrine. The calls for a 'Good Neighbor' policy emphasize cooperation and democracy support in Latin America.
Being “Pro-American” Today Means Disaster for Latin America, with “Monroe Doctrine” Coming Back https://t.co/0hYZQ06ULN https://t.co/SRZqPEfCet
For 200 years, the Monroe Doctrine has been used to support coups, dictatorships, and policies that destabilize Latin America. Today, I introduced a bill calling for the end of the Monroe Doctrine in favor of a "Good Neighbor" policy founded on cooperation and mutual respect. https://t.co/A2DcY9HD73
Today, I’m joining @NydiaVelazquez to call for an official end to the outdated Monroe Doctrine. Instead of toppling duly elected governments or sanctions that starve our neighbors in Latin America, we can work together to support democracy, workers, & climate action abroad.

Now, after three decades in which overt U.S. interventions in Latin America have grown rare, discussion of the Monroe Doctrine seems to be making a comeback, @tomlongphd and @schulz_c_a argue. https://t.co/p6mP74GVRO
My new @GlobeIdeas column: The US "has sought to turn the Monroe Doctrine into a global principle. We not only assert our right to intervene in places like Africa and the Middle East, but oppose other powers that do the same." https://t.co/cSbj2j3BLK
As it hits its 200th anniversary this month, the Monroe Doctrine is experiencing a resurgence, @tomlongphd and @schulz_c_a argue. https://t.co/p6mP74Go2g
December marks 200 years of the Monroe Doctrine. I joined @NydiaVelazquez, @RepCasar, and civil society leaders to discuss the legacy of US military intervention and economic destabilization in the hemisphere. We urge a new regional policy—rooted in peace and mutual respect. https://t.co/lsUXFIolKm
