Pan-Americanism
Continental political cooperation
Pan-Americanism is the idea that the nations of North, Central, and South America share common interests and should cooperate politically, economically, and culturally.
The movement gained momentum in the late 19th century and led to institutions like the Organization of American States.
Critics note that Pan-Americanism has often served as cover for U.S. dominance in the hemisphere.
