Geopolitical Conflict
Costa Rica Included in New U.S. Greater North America Security Strategy
Costa Rica's inclusion in a new U.S. security framework increases geopolitical tensions with neighboring states and raises concerns over militarization.
Costa Rica has been formally included in the United States' new Greater North America security strategy, which places the country within a more openly militarized and ideological framework that blends security cooperation with harder rhetoric on borders, crime, and foreign influence. For a nation without an army that has long relied on diplomacy and civilian institutions, this framing could become politically sensitive even as cooperation with the United States deepens. The move may heighten regional geopolitical friction, particularly with neighboring Nicaragua and other actors wary of expanding U.S. military influence in Central America.
