En cambio, se conoce menos el papel de ciertos políticos en los Estados Unidos -especialmente &#8220;demócratas liberales&#8221;- en el sostenimiento y ayuda al gobierno de Figueres en contra de posibles actores hostiles en los Estados Unidos y en la región latinoamericana, así como dentro de Costa Rica. Este artículo se concentra en el papel de amigo de Figueres que tuvo el influyente economista del New Deal y Secretario de Estado para los asuntos latinoamericanos: Adolf Berle.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract José Figueres&#8217;s rise to power as president in Costa Rica in 1953, his enemies activities in Nicaragua to overthrow him, and his confrontation with Anastasio Somoza are well known facts. Less well-known, perhaps, is the role of certain U.S. actors -especially &#8220;liberal Democrats&#8221;- who helped protect the Figueres regime from would-be hostile actors in the U.S. and elsewhere in the region as well as within the country itself. In this paper, I concentrate on the role of influential New Deal economist and former secretary of state for Latin American Affairs Adolf Berle.]]></p></abstract>
