Chapter 3 explores TR’s decision in late 1903 to encourage and support Panama’s secession from Colombia, in order to secure a site for the future Panama Canal, and the subsequent debate regarding the Hay-Bunau-Varilla Treaty. It examines how he and his allies overcame substantial criticism to harness public support for the treaty, and the extent to which concerns about domestic political implications influenced his handling of relations with Bogotá. The intervention occurred against the backdrop of the upcoming 1904 election, with TR facing dissent from anti-imperialists, conservative Republicans, including the influential Ohio senator Mark Hanna, and Democrats who hoped that the controversy would damage the president’s political standing.

Man depends on plants for his food – directly through crops and indirectly through animals – and all our staple foods are derived from only about 30 species of plants. Yet we continue to fell the forests and clear land, exterminating plants that could possibly avert disasters in the future – just as the apparently useless wild wheat discovered in Turkey in 1948 proved to be resistant to certain diseases, including four races of rust, and is now used to breed rust-resistant hydrids. The author lists some of the disasters now occurring, such as siltation of waterways resulting from erosion due to forest destruction – some bulk cargoes are now diverted round Cape Horn due to silt in the Panama Canal. He asks, how severe must ecological disasters become before we recognise our dependence? Dr Jarvis works for IUCN's Threatened Plants Committee (TPC) at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.

Year 2000

The old certainties of the Cold War, and the conventional attrition-type war implicit in it, have gone. In their place we now have a world of dangerous uncertainty and ambiguity in which old concepts of security are no longer relevant. The present security and future of Panama and the Panama Canal after the year 2000 is a case in point.This article will take a look at the issue of Canal security within the context of the contemporary “new world disorder” and develop the argument for a new approach to deal with current and future challenges to Panamanian and international security interests.The bottom line is this: the security of Panama and the Panama Canal — or any other point of strategic interest, now and for the future — will not depend so much on conventional military strategies as it will depend on international and domestic policies that provide for political stability, economic progress, and social justice.
