IHS Workshop: "Torrijos and Tito: Diplomacy in the Non-Aligned Movement," by Jonathan C. Brown, University of Texas at Austin
Monday October 5, 2020 • Zoom Webinar
12:00 PM - 1:30 PM
Panama’s dictator, Omar Torrijos, waited nine years for the Americans to renegotiate the 1903 Canal Treaty. He enlisted the support of the co-founder of the Non-Aligned Movement, Marshal Josip Broz Tito. Yugoslav documents reveal Tito’s advice on how a small country might obtain valuable real estate from the world’s foremost military power.
Jonathan C. Brown earned his Ph.D. from The University of Texas and taught at UCSB, UCLA, and NIU
before returning to UT Austin. His most recent publications include Cuba’s Revolutonary World
(Harvard University Press, 2017) and “China’s Opening to Latin America in the Age of Reform,” Asian Journal of Latin American Studies (2020). He works presently on two projects: 1) a political biography of General Omar Torrijos and 2) a study on Cuba’s revolutionary century. He is a Fellow at the Institute for Historical Studies this year.
