| Descripció: | In 1926, the Republic of Panama celebrated the centenary of the Amphictyonic Congress convened a century earlier by Simón Bolívar to consider the future of inter-American relations. In a context of crisis of multilateralism born of the Great War, the young Panamanian state deployed the largest cultural diplomacy initiative of its independent life, consisting of major celebrations in honour of Bolívar and a commemorative Bolivarian Congress of Pan-American character, with delegates from all over the continent. Drawing on diplomatic archives and press clippings from various countries associated with the centenary, this article analyses the Congress as a unique observatory for the strategies deployed by Panama and a number of countries considered "weak", especially in Central America and the Caribbean, eager to put forward a genuine political agenda that challenged the hegemonic practices of the continent's great and middle powers. |
