Abstract

"The Weak and the Powerful: Omar Torrijos, Panama, and the Non-Aligned Movement in the World" by Jonathan Brown explores Panama's proactive role in securing the 1978 Panama Canal Treaties, replacing colonialist impositions on Panamanian sovereignty. Brown's book delves into the reformist regime of Omar Torrijos and his efforts to navigate relationships with various countries, including the US and Cuba. The book highlights Torrijos's diplomatic skills and strategic maneuvers in achieving Panama's goals, shedding light on a lesser-known aspect of twentieth-century Panamanian history.
