Abstract
This thesis discusses the evolution of U.S. -Puerto Rican
relations and the current drive to permanently define the
island's political status. It analyzes the pros and cons of
the three status options (statehood, independence, and
enhanced commonwealth) in terms of U.S. national interest.
It argues that the status selected will have significant
implications for the U.S. interests, especially in the
military (Caribbean security and the war on drugs) and
economic spheres.
