Kenneth Coleman, "The Political Mythology of the Monroe Doctrine: Reflections on the Social Psychology of Hegemony," in Latin America, the United States, and the Inter-American System ed. John Martz and Lars Schoultz ( Boulder, CO: Westview, 1980), p. 95. According to Coleman, "Hegemony--the establishment by a dominant power of limits for the behavior of other actors beyond which direct control by force will be invoked--implies an implied homeostasis; ie, so long as the behavior of the subordinate parties remains within the prescribed limits, rule by force is not invoked."
Diane B. Kunz, "When Money Counts and Doesn't: Economic Power and Diplomatic Objectives," Diplomatic History 18 no. 4 (fall 1994): 451-62. According to Kunz, the idea of economic sanctions as a substitute for military action is firmly rooted in the US consciousness.
Wiarda and Kryzanek, The Dominican Republic: A Caribbean Crucible, p. 135. After World War II, the foreign policy issues of US-Dominican relations revolved around anticommunism and, to a lesser extent, the desire to create a model of liberalism and democracy in the Caribbean. After 1958, the United States sought to preserve stability and prevent communism not by aiding authoritarian dictators but by supporting liberal democrats.

According to Jonathan Hartlyn, "Although it did not last, democracy advanced further in the country at this time due to the role of international factors than one would have expected based on the country's past history and the legacies of the Trujillo era." See Jonathan Hartlyn, The Struggle for Democratic Politics in the Dominican Republic ( Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 1998), pp. 68-69.
